Single-chain magnets (SCMs) are potential candidates for ultra-high magnetic storage devices. Furthermore, 1D structures have proven to be extremely good candidates for probing and understanding exchange interactions in extended systems. Uniaxial anisotropic spin centers paired with strong magnetic correlations at first neighbors within the chain result in slow relaxation of the magnetization in these one-dimensional […]
Quantum Tunneling of Spin
Low-nuclearity molecules allow for a full numerical treatment of the multi-spin Hamiltonian, where degrees of freedom associated with the individual ions can be adequately tested.
Single-Electron Transport through Molecular Magnets
Investigation of the interplay between high-spin states of an individual SMM and conduction electrons in a three-terminal single-electron transistor.
Two-Dimensional Spintronics
An study aimed at understanding and controlling the injection of pure spin currents in graphene-based spintronics devices.
