Abstract
The direct dimension or time following directly after a pulse sequence in pulse EPR is rarely utilized. Many of the reasons for this stem from limitations in the technology available at the time pulse EPR was developed. The underutilization of the direct dimension can limit sensitivity, information content, and accurate analysis of data. Some features of the direct dimension are illustrated using two-pulse ESEEM spectroscopy.
