Magnets are useful for many things, not only for sticking pictures on refrigerator doors!
Even molecules can act as tiny magnets, and there has been a rapid increase in the amount of research investigating their huge technological potential. They could be used in the next generation of smaller and faster computers and for efficient data storage, since molecular magnets allow a maximum of memory to be packed into a small space.
Authored by a perfect interdisciplinary team of top scientists, this textbook teaches the fundamentals of molecular magnetism while showing how to apply these concepts with the aid of computer programs.
From the contents:
∗ Units, concepts and definitions
∗ Theoretical background
∗ Fundamental magnetic behavior
∗ Single ion systems
∗ Exchange–coupled systems
∗ Calculation of the experimental quantities
∗ Measuring the magnetic moment
∗ Spectroscopic techniques
∗ Chemical design
The book and the accompanying software, which may be downloaded from the authors′ website, enable readers to acquire and translate magnetic data for molecular magnetic materials into chemically meaningful information.
Both a teaching and research tool for advanced masters and PhD students, lecturers and researchers new to the field.
An introduction to the fundamental concepts of molecular magnetism and how to apply them. The reader is instructed how to analyze and characterize molecular–based magnetic materials and how to calculate magnetic properties. The software is downloadable from the authors′ website.
