Project description
New tools to study how light and pressure affect single-molecule magnets
Advancing scientific tools is key to unlocking new technologies and scientific knowledge. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the MAGNETIC-ESTEEM project focuses on lanthanide single-molecule magnets (SMMs), which could play a big role in quantum information science because their magnetic properties can be controlled by light or pressure. However, researchers need to better understand how these external factors affect their behaviour. To tackle this, MAGNETIC-ESTEEM will create two innovative probes to study how light (via magneto-chiral luminescence) and high pressure affect the electronic states of these magnets. By improving how researchers can explore and control SMMs, this work could lead to exciting advancements in quantum technologies, such as better ways to read and store data using light.
Objective
Innovation in scientific instrumentation is essential for advancing technology and pushing the boundaries of scientific knowledge. Cutting-edge tools enable researchers to explore previously inaccessible physical phenomena, leading to breakthroughs in new materials and processes. One promising application is the use of lanthanide single-molecule magnets (SMMs) in quantum information science, due to their magnetic bistability, which can be controlled by external stimuli. The design and control of magnetic properties in molecular magnets—and their practical applications—depend on the understanding and manipulation of the energy levels that define their electronic structure. To further the development of future quantum technologies, it is critical to understand how external stimuli, such as light and pressure, influence the electronic states of SMMs.
This project aims to develop two innovative scientific probes to investigate the effects of light (via magneto-chiral luminescence) and high pressure on the electronic energy levels of chiral lanthanide-based single-molecule magnets. By expanding the toolbox of techniques available to chemists and physicists working in molecular magnetism, this research will address current limitations in both instrumentation and theoretical understanding. Ultimately, this work seeks to bridge these gaps, with potential applications extending to the field of quantum information science for optical data-readout mechanisms.
