EPR spectrometer comprising a ferroelectric single crystal resonator, a
rectangular channel with holes in its narrow sides for inserting a sample
and wires, a permanent magnet with planar poles, and a coil within the
channel connected through the holes by the wires with a modulation source
and a NMR spectrometer comprising a magnet, a probe with means for
transmitting a radio frequency magnetic pulse and detecting NMR signal,
and a ferroelectric single crystal resonator. A ferroelectric single
crystal consisting essentially of potassium tantalate and the alkali
metal substituting from about 1% to 3% of potassium or a group (V) metal
substituting in part for tantalum, having cubic form of perovskite
crystalline structure, and essentially free of impurities and defects is
also disclosed.
