ERA NANOSCI: Three-terminal transport through single-molecule magnets

我们提出了一个系统的调查电子传输通过个人，定制的singlemolecule磁铁与控制之间的相互作用的传输特性和纳米磁性在分子水平上的目标。特别是，我们将追求电气控制的磁参数和磁状态的三端传输测量的识别。我们在合成新的定制单分子磁体及其控制布线成分子三端器件方面的努力将得到理论模型的发展的补充，用于对实验结果进行定量分析。三个小组分别在合成、传输测量和理论建模方面的互补专长对该项目至关重要。

We propose a systematic investigation of electron transport through individual, tailor-made singlemolecule magnets with the goal of controlling the interplay between transport properties and nanomagnetism at the molecular level. In particular we will pursue electrical control of magnetic parameters and the identification of magnetic states by three-terminal transport measurements. Our efforts in the synthesis of new customized single-molecule magnets and in their controlled wiring into molecular three-terminal devices will be complemented by the development of theoretical models for a quantitative analysis of experimental results. The complementary expertise of each of the three groups on synthesis, transport measurements and theoretical modeling respectively is crucial for this project.
