Abstract

Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy has contributed significantly to the identification and characterization of paramagnetic impurities associated with clays. Following a brief discussion of the general principles of the technique, a review is given of the application of ESR to the study of those paramagnetic species (chiefly iron and radiation-induced lattice defects) located either within the aluminosilicate structure or present as an external impurity phase.

Résumé

Résumé

La spectroscopie de résonance paramagnétique électronique (RPE) a apporté une contribution significative à l'identification et à la caractérisation des impuretés paramagnétiques associées aux argiles. Après une brève discussion des principes généraux de la technique, on passe en revue l'application de la RPE à l'étude de ces espèces paramagnétiques localisées soit dans la structure de l'aluminosilicate, soit dans une phase étrangère. Il s'agit essentiellement de fer et de défauts de réseau induits par rayonnement.

Die Elektronenspin-Resonanz-Spektroskopie (ESR) hat zur Bestimmung und Charakterisierung von paramagnetischen Verunreinigungen in Tonen einen bedeutenden Beitrag geliefert. Nach einer kurzen Diskussion der hauptsächlichen Prinzipien dieser Technik, wird ein Überblick gegeben über die Anwendung der ESR-Spektroskopie zur Untersuchung solcher paramagnetischer Spezies (hauptsächlich Eisen und strahlungs-induzierte Gitterdefekte), die entweder innerhalb der Aluminosilikat-Struktur vorliegen oder als externe Verunreinigungs-phasen vorhanden sind.

Resumen

Resumen

La espectroscopia de resonancia del espín de los electrones ha contribuido significantemente a la identificación y caracterización de impurezas paramagnéticas relacionadas con las arcillas. Después de una breve discusión de los principios generales de esta técnica se pasa revista a la aplicación de la misma al estudio de las especies paramagnéticas (principalmente hierro y defectos de la red cristalina inducidos por la radiación) localizados dentro de la estructura de aluminosilicato o presente como fase de impurezas externa.
