We aim to determine the ligand field parameters of the [HoPc2]¿ complex belonging to the family of lanthanide double decker (Ln=Dy3+,Ho3+,Tb3+) single-molecule magnets (SMM),... -
Degenerate ground-states in Ho2-xYxSn2O7
Ho2-xYxSn2O7 is characterized by degenerate magnetic ground-states, which involve the magnetic structure for x->0 (Spin-Ice phase) and the two-fold degeneracy of the... -
Study of the dependence of electron spin relaxation on molecule length in acenes
We wish to measure the ALCs of a series of polyacene molecules made of a different number of rings. We would like to identify the dependence of the electron spin relaxation rate... -
Investigating the Structure of Porous Liquids
Porous liquids are a counter-intuitive new class of porous material consisting of a liquid with permanent, empty holes. They are unique in that they combine the fluidity of... -
Tuning micellar interfacial curvature in CO2 by small molecule additives
This proposal aims to explore co-surfactants, as additives with CO2-active surfactants, for elongating reversed micelles in dense CO2 by using high-pressure small-angle neutron... -
Conjugated polymer-small molecule interfaces for photovoltaic applications
Organic materials offer a range of low-cost options for large area fabrication of solar (photovoltaic) cells. Unfortunately, organic photovoltaics suffer from low efficiencies.... -
Tunneling and relaxation of the magnetization in Mn6 single molecule magnet
The Mn6 single molecule magnet shows to date the highest anisotropy barrier for a transition metal cluster. Low lying excited states in the energy level diagram of the molecule... -
