Quantum dynamics of strongly anisotropic molecular nanomagnets. KU Leuven
The project wants to contribute to the theoretical understanding of the mechanisms that underlie the working of single-molecule magnets (SMM, also nanomagnets). An SMM is a molecule that behaves as a magnet on its own. However, among the factors that still prevent the development of applications are the very low temperatures that are needed to make the SMM actually work as a magnet. Chemists try to push this limit by making new SMMs with ...
