Magnetism at the molecular scale

by Jürgen Schnack

Whether the smallest data memory, qubit, coolant or medical contrast media – magnetic molecules promise a wide range of applications. This and the underlying quantum mechanics make molecular magnetism a highly effective field of research beyond the boundaries of the subject. Thus, a co-operation between chemistry and physics is indispensable, since the better one understands the magneto-structural connections, the more targeted molecules can be synthesized. But also from a purely physical point of view, research on magnetic molecules offers exciting questions.
