Electron Spin Resonance Studies of Nitrogen Atoms Stabilized in Impurity-Helium Condensates

Measurements of the ground-state spectroscopic parameters of nitrogen atoms show that the nanoclusters have a shell structure. Most of the N atoms reside on solid molecular layers of N2\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\hbox {N}_2$$\end{document}.
