This textbook covers molecular nanomagnetism, a new research field that brings together chemists and physicists. It highlights the fundamental properties of magnetic molecules and how these unique quantum and classical effects are manifested. It is suitable for scientists who want to explore these innovations in chemistry and physics.
Description
Molecular nanomagnetism is a fast-growing new research area with promising applications. This field investigates magnetic molecules, which form the smallest nanomagnets and reveal a rare combination of classical and quantum phenomena. Since the discovery of molecular hysteresis in a manganese cluster, collaboration between chemists and physicists has intensified. This book offers a comprehensive introduction and deeper insight, written by leading chemists and a theorist, aimed at a scientific audience.
