Funded Activity Summary

New approaches to bistable spin clusters. Future advances in data storage technology and other areas of electronics depend on the miniaturisation of the relevant components. The goal of this project is to create materials where individual molecules can be the units of magnetic memory for high density data storage or the switches in electronic devices. Fundamental research in these areas is being pursued vigourously overseas and Australian involvement through this project is important for the possibility of local development of devices based on the new materials. The students and postdoctoral fellows involved in this work will receive world class training in the synthetic and physical techniques that underpin the emerging fields of molecular magnetism and molecular electronics.
