Nanomagnetic Materials from Molecular Clusters and Coordination Polymers

来自分子团簇和配位聚合物的纳米磁性材料。磁性材料在录音带和其他电子设备中的应用非常重要。传统的磁性材料是用高温方法制成的金属、合金或金属氧化物。我们的目标是合成新的化学和分子基固体材料，这些材料具有传统磁体的特性，但在常温下经过精心的化学设计而成。我们将制造具有三维网络结构或大离子簇的材料，如由有机分子桥联的锰。我们将详细研究它们的磁性。这种簇合物意义重大，因为它们的尺寸是纳米级的，并提供了新的特征，在未来的量子计算机中有可能长期使用。

Nanomagnetic Materials from Molecular Clusters and Coordination Polymers. Magnetic materials are important through their use in recording tapes and other electronic devices. Traditional magnetic materials are metals, alloys or metal oxides made by high temperature methods. Our aims are to synthesize new chemical and molecule based solid materials which possess the properties of traditional magnets but which are made by careful chemical design at ambient temperatures. We will make materials which have three-dimensional network structures or large clusters of ions such as manganese bridged by organic molecules. Their magnetic properties will be studied in detail. The cluster compounds are significant since they are nanoscale in size and offer new features, with long term possible use in future quantum computers.
