Molecular nanomagnets: towards molecular spintronics

Molecular nanomagnets, often called single-molecule magnets, have attracted much interest in recent years both from experimental and theoretical point of view. These systems are organometallic clusters characterised by a large spin ground state with a predominant uniaxial anisotropy. The quantum nature of these systems makes them very appealing for phenomena occurring on the mesoscopic scale, ...
