Project description
Advancing single-molecule magnets for real-world applications
Molecular magnetism focuses on developing molecule-based systems that can store magnetic information at much higher densities than current technologies. Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) are particularly promising owing to their unique properties, such as large spin, strong magnetic anisotropy and slow magnetisation relaxation. These properties render them ideal for nanotechnological applications such as data storage and spintronics. However, understanding how SMMs interact with surfaces remains poor. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the SPIDYM project aims to generate fundamental insights into the properties, spin dynamics and molecule-surface interactions of cobalt-based SMMs deposited on surfaces. Using advanced spectroscopy techniques, SPIDYM will explore the electronic and magnetic properties of these systems. The proposed research paves the way for nanoscale data storage applications.
Objective
In the field of molecular magnetism, research is centered on developing molecule-based systems capable of storing magnetic information at much higher densities than current technologies allow. Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) are particularly promising due to their unique properties like large spin in its ground state, strong magnetic anisotropy and the slow relaxation of magnetization that can be tailored for targeted applications. Precise deposition of SMMs on surfaces allow for controlled interactions and the potential to manipulate individual molecules, unlocking their potential for nanotechnological applications. However, this area remains underexplored. SPIDYM will generate for the first time fundamental insights on the properties, magnetic anisotropy, spin dynamics and molecule-surface interactions for carefully selected cobalt-based SMMs deposited on relevant surfaces. This understanding is essential for the development of nanotechnological devices based on SMMs. These goals will be pursued by multidisciplinary advanced measurements approach, synergizing synchrotron based surface sensitive X-ray absorption spectroscopy(XAS), X-ray magnetic circular dichroism(XMCD), lab-based electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR), infrared spectroscopy(FIR) and magnetic characterization combined with theoretical modeling to exploit electronic and magnetic properties of surface-adsorbed SMMs for potential applications in nanoscale data storage and spintronic devices. SPIDYM exploits the synergy between the applicant's extensive expertise in synchrotron-based x-ray methods and the host's expertise with lab-based spectroscopic techniques, EPR. Therefore, the action provides a unique opportunity for the applicant to strongly expand her skills, and for the host to become acquainted with surface sensitive techniques. The action will equip the applicant with the wide expertise required to start her independent scientific career and to successfully apply for substantial funding.
