Popis: The ESR properties of 3000°C heat treated fibers derived from mesophase pitch and PAN have been measured and compared with computer-simulated spectra. Conduction electron motional averaging was observed in the PAN- and pitch-based fibers with domains small in the transverse direction. When perpendicular to the applied field, pitch-based fibers with large transverse domains exhibited a complex spectrum indicating no motional averaging by the conduction electrons. Computer-simulated spectra were in agreement with experiment and were useful in the determination of “single crystallite” ESR parameters. The relationship between ESR behavior and fiber structure is discussed.
