What Does ZFS Stand For?

ZFS stands for Zero Field Splitting

ZFS, or Zero Field Splitting, is a phenomenon observed in electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy where unpaired electron spins do not experience a magnetic field gradient. This results in a splitting of energy levels that is independent of external magnetic fields. ZFS is significant in the study of transition metal complexes and can provide insights into their electronic structure and magnetic properties, contributing to our understanding of various chemical and physical processes.
