One fact of computing life is that there's never enough storage. Storing information on single molecules would improve storage density by a factor of 10,000. A promising strategy is to arrange magnetic molecules on a surface, so that their spin can be accessed from one side in read/write operations. While much is known of magnetic molecules in crystals, their behaviour on a surface is still a puzzle. Using mathematical models and synchrotron experiments, the project will explore which combinations of molecules and surfaces exhibit the best magnetic behaviour. The expected results will be crucial for the development of a new generation of high-capacity and high-performing computers.

计算生活中的一个事实是永远没有足够的存储空间。将信息存储在单个分子上将使存储密度提高10000倍。一种很有前途的策略是在表面上排列磁性分子，以便在读/写操作中可以从一侧访问它们的自旋。虽然人们对晶体中的磁性分子已知很多，但它们在表面上的行为仍然是一个谜。利用数学模型和同步加速器实验，该项目将探索哪种分子和表面的组合表现出最佳的磁性行为。预期的结果将对新一代大容量和高性能计算机的开发至关重要。
