Molecular nanomagnets (MNMs), molecules containing interacting spins, have been a playground for quantum mechanics. They are characterized by many accessible low-energy …
Many interesting but practically intractable problems can be reduced to that of finding the ground state of a system of interacting spins; however, finding such a ground state remains …
Using X-band pulsed electron-spin resonance, we report the intrinsic spin-lattice (T 1) and phase-coherence (T 2) relaxation times in molecular nanomagnets for the first time. In Cr 7 …
The ability to assemble weakly interacting subsystems is a prerequisite for implementing quantum information processing and generating controlled entanglement. In recent years …
We show that the electron spin phase memory time, the most important property of a molecular nanomagnet from the perspective of quantum information processing, can be …
The substitution of one metal ion in a Cr-based molecular ring with dominant antiferromagnetic couplings allows the engineering of its level structure and ground-state …

Magnetic clusters, ie, assemblies of a finite number (between two or three and several hundred) of interacting spin centers which are magnetically decoupled from their …
An enormous family of heterometallic rings has been made. The first were Cr7M rings where M= NiII, ZnII, MnII, and rings have been made with as many as fourteen metal centers in the …
We characterize supramolecular magnetic structures, consisting of two weakly coupled antiferromagnetic rings, by low-temperature specific heat, susceptibility, magnetization and …
