Funded Activity Summary

Nanomagnetic Molecular Materials. This research project involves the preparation of new molecular magnets using metals such as manganese and vanadium and a study of their physical properties. Metal compounds of the cluster type are significant since they are nanoscale in size and offer new quantum features, with an improved understanding of the magnetic properties as a primary outcome and long term possible use in future quantum computers. This fundamental study provides excellent training to post-graduate students and makes them ideally suited to take jobs in advanced materials, an area being emphasised in Australia's nanotechnological future.
