Spins in solids or in molecules possess discrete energy levels, and the associated quantum
states can be tuned and coherently manipulated by means of external electromagnetic …

Over the past fifteen years or so, the study of f-element single-ion magnets (f-SIMs) has gone
from being a sub-discipline of molecular magnetism to an established field of research in its …

Very recently the closely related fields of molecular spin qubits, single ion magnets and
single atom magnets have been shaken by unexpected results. We have witnessed a jump …

Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) have attracted increasing attention in recent years due to
the potentially applicable in high-density information storage and spintronic devices. There …

Understanding the anisotropic electronic structure of lanthanide complexes is important in
areas as diverse as magnetic resonance imaging, luminescent cell labelling and quantum …

This review examines mononuclear metal complexes with high magnetic anisotropy and the
theoretical approaches used to rationalize their magnetic properties. Electronic structure …

Magnetic anisotropy is the property that confers to the spin a preferred direction that could
be not aligned with an external magnetic field. Molecules that exhibit a high degree of …

Quantum coherence is detected in the 4f single-ion magnet (SIM) Yb (trensal), by isotope
selective pulsed EPR spectroscopy on an oriented single crystal. At X-band, the spin–lattice …
