Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) have been proposed for applications in high-density
storage, quantum simulation, quantum computing and spintronics applications. Bulk …

Molecules comprising a large number of coupled paramagnetic centers are attracting much
interest because they may show properties which are intermediate between those of simple …

Nanomagnetism is a rapidly expanding area of research which appears to be able to
provide novel applications. Magnetic molecules are at the very bottom of the possible size of …

Magnets are widely used in a large number of applications, and their market is larger than
that of semiconductors. Information storage is certainly one of the most important uses of …

An experimental method based on the Landau-Zener model was developed to measure
very small tunnel splittings in molecular clusters of eight iron atoms, which at low …

We used a scanning tunneling microscope to probe the interactions between spins in
individual atomic-scale magnetic structures. Linear chains of 1 to 10 manganese atoms …

The phenomenon of single-molecule magnetism was established in the early 1990s with the
cluster [Mn 12 O 12 (AcO) 16 (H 2 O) 4]. Since then, a large number of compounds …

Magnetic anisotropy allows magnets to maintain their direction of magnetization over time.
Using a scanning tunneling microscope to observe spin excitations, we determined the …

Neutron scattering is arguably the most powerful technique available for looking inside
materials and seeing what the atoms are doing. This textbook provides a comprehensive …

Nanometer-sized magnetic particles have generated continuous interest since the late
1940s because the study of their properties has proved to be scientifically and …
