It is shown that in pulse EPR experiments, absolute-value spectra can be distorted because of the instrumental dead time to an extent that the interpretation of the spectral features becomes impossible. The mathematical background for the description of the distortions is given, and the far-reaching

β¦ Synopsis
We report on the two-dimensional (2D) implementation of the refocused primary electron spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) technique, its theory and experimental application to a model system and a system of biological interest. This technique is virtually free of dead time along one time coordinate. The ESEEM obtained by integration of the 2D time-domain data of the refocused primary ESEEM over one of the time coordinates shows the intensity of the sum combination harmonics proportional to k(2) for k << 1 and proportional to k for k approximately 1 (k is a usual notation for the modulation amplitude factor). This feature, in combination with the adjustment of k by means of variation of the operational frequency of the spectrometer, was found to be very useful for detection of protons with distributed hyperfine interaction parameters situated close to the electron spin.
