| Popis: | The change of the anthracite EPR signal shape that was caused by increasing the sample size was observed by continuous-wave EPR with automatic frequency control locked to the measuring cavity. For large samples (>10 mm3), hysteresis (a difference in the resonant magnetic flux densities when the magnetic field was scanned upwards or downwards) and a bistability (a sharp amplitude change) were observed. A two-peak spectrum for a strongly coupled system formed by an electron-spin ensemble and the cavity microwave field was found by changing the frequency of the microwave oscillator during recording of the EPR signals. The difference in the frequencies of these peaks (Rabi splitting) was a measure of the coupling strength between the spins and the microwave field and increased with increasing sample size. The simultaneous increase of the hysteresis and bistability of the EPR signals provided evidence that these peculiarities were caused by the Rabi splitting. Use of the Rabi splitting to determine the number of electron spins in a sample was proposed. |
