ESR spectra of quasirandomly oriented centers: application to radiation damage centers in bone.
The angular dependence of the ESR line shape from polycrystalline samples due to incomplete randomness in the orientation of the crystallites is calculated for centers with axial symmetry. The effect of a preferential axis of orientation is considered and the results are applied to radiation produce centers in bone.
