    ESR spectra (a) of polycrystalline methanol at 4.2 K and 77 K: ① 20 min after X-irradiation at 4.2 K, the arrow marked with gf indicates a DPPH marker; ② 2 h after X-irradiation at 4.2 K; ③ after annealing at 77 K for 1 min, the arrows in ③ indicate the trace amount of •CH3 remained after annealing[23]. Products yields as a function of nitrous oxide concentration (b) [31]
