electron nuclear double resonance, ENDOR
1. A spectroscopic technique in which a sample is irradiated with a range of nuclear resonance frequencies while electron spin resonance absorption is observed at a single frequency.
2. A type of electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy permitting greatly enhanced resolution, in which a material is simultaneously irradiated at one of its frequencies and by a second oscillatory field during which its frequency is swept over the range of nuclear frequencies.
