Molecular nanomagnets, also known as Single Molecule Magnets (SMMs), are a class of molecules that at low temperature exhibit magnetic hysteresis of pure molecular origin and not related to a cooperative effect. In the past fifteen years they have attracted great interest for their potentiality to act as magnetic memory units and for the many quantum effects in the dynamics of their magnetization ...

"The design of molecular nanoscale magnets is a hot topic research area due to their technological interest in high density data storage or quantum computing. In this field, lanthanide-containing systems are appealing due to the large magnetic moment and large anisotropy associated with most of the lanthanides, key factors determining the temperature below which single-molecule(SMMs) and single-ch ...
