Gd-based single-ion magnets with tunable magnetic anisotropy: molecular design of spin qubits.

The Rise of Single-Ion Magnets as Spin Qubits

Recent studies revealed that magnetic molecules with single spin centers showed exciting phenomena related to quantum information processing, such as long quantum coherence times and Rabi oscillations. In this review, we go over these phenomena according to the essential metal ions, from which we can see the development of single-ion magnets as spin qubits is booming, especially quantum coheren...

Strong exchange and magnetic blocking in N₂<super>3−</super>-radical-bridged lanthanide complexes

Single-molecule magnets approach the ultimate size limit for spin-based devices. These complexes can retain spin information over long periods of time at low temperature, suggesting possible applications in high-density information storage, quantum computing and spintronics. Notably, the success of most such applications hinges upon raising the inherent molecular spin-inversion barrier. Althoug...

3d single-ion magnets.

One of the determining factors in whether single-molecule magnets (SMMs) may be used as the smallest component of data storage, is the size of the barrier to reversal of the magnetisation, Ueff. This physical quantity depends on the magnitude of the magnetic anisotropy of a complex and the size of its spin ground state. In recent years, there has been a growing focus on maximising the anisotrop...

Rational Design of Single-Molecule Magnets

Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) are molecules that exhibit a magnetic bistability of pure molecular origin due to a slow relaxation of the magnetization. Thus, information can be stored in a single molecule with dimensions below 5 nm. The necessary prerequisites are a high spin ground state St along with a strong magnetic anisotropy of the easy-axes type which is described by a negative zero-fie...
