Low-dimensional molecular magnets
Conventional magnetic materials are based on inorganic materials,
but why not use molecules? This gives a much more flexible approach
to understand low-dimensional magnetism. We are working on newly
discovered chain magnets, like the one picture here, in which spin-one-half
moments (the most quantum you can get!) are knitted together in chains
by organic molecules. Another new direction is single molecule magnets:
giant spins on single molecules give us a way of studying quantum
tunneling of magnetization. We use a number of experimental techniques,
including magnetization and heat capacity measurements, but
particularly muon-spin rotation.
