Time-domain analysis of EPR measurements of polyacetylene and soliton diffusion

Abstract
A novel analysis of EPR measurements on polyacetylene is demonstrated by the analysis of the conventional line shape in time domain. Quantitative results of the hyperfine-coupling constant, the on-chain diffusion rate, and the off-chain hopping rate were extracted by nonlinear curve fitting to the time-domain signals, and they are consistent with the soliton model of polyacetylene.
