Abstract

The name of the Soviet physicist Evgenii Konstantinovich Zavoisky (1907–1976) belongs to the history of science due to his discovery of a fundamental physical phenomenon–electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and a series of brilliant works in nuclear physics, controlled thermonuclear fusion and physical electronics. In this article, we concentrate only on his discovery of EPR.

Additional information

Kev M Salikhov was the Director of the Zavoisky Physical-Technical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kazan, Tatarstan, Russian Federation until recently and presently continues as ‘Scientific Leader’ at the same institute. His interests are in theoretical chemical physics and the theory of EPR.

Nataliya Zavoiskaya is the daughter of Evgenii Zavoisky, the discoverer of EPR. She is a historian, and has written two Russian books dedicated to the life and work of her father. The books are: The History of the EPR-discovery and The Contemporaries.
