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 …

Toward promising candidates of quantum information processing, the rapid development of
lanthanide-based single-molecule magnets (Ln-SMMs) highlights design strategies in …

Quantum computing is an emerging area within the information sciences revolving around
the concept of quantum bits (qubits). A major obstacle is the extreme fragility of these qubits …

In the early 1990s, great excitement followed the discovery that a molecular transition metal
coordination compound could, at liquid-helium temperatures, retain magnetization for long …

Abstract Single‐ion magnets (SIMs), exhibiting slow magnetization relaxation in the absence
of the magnetic field, originate from their single spin‐carrier centre. In pursuit of high …

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 …

Single-molecule magnets represent the ultimate size limit for spin-based information storage
and processing; however, such applications require large spin relaxation barriers and …

An ab initio methodology for the first‐principle derivation of crystal‐field (CF) parameters for
lanthanides is described. The methodology is applied to the analysis of CF parameters in …

A very basic tutorial-style introduction to Single-Molecule Magnetism, intended for a general
chemistry audience, is provided. This is followed by a review of the synthesis, structures and …

Polyoxometalates are clusters of metal-oxide units, comprising a large diversity of nanoscale
structures, and have many common building blocks; in fact polyoxometalate clusters are …
