Origin of the magnetoelectric couplings in the spin dynamics of molecular magnets

Voltage-induced modulation of the magnetic exchange in binuclear Fe(iii) complex deposited on Au(111) surface

“…On the other hand, the electric-induced switching of the magnetic coupling in polynuclear complexes has been scarcely studied, chiefly reduced to model systems. 32–34 An important step in this way was made in 2013, when Wagner and co-workers studied the transport properties of a magnetically coupled binuclear Co 2+ complex anchored to two Au electrodes in an MCBJ junction setup. 35 In this work, the magnetic coupling was successfully modulated by applying different bias voltages, experimentally showing that a voltage-triggered switch from the ferromagnetic to the anti-ferromagnetic state is feasible.…”

Using single and double laser pulses on the molecular Ni4@C48H36 system to design integrated nanospintronic units

“…17–19 Magnetic molecules and heterostructures 20–24 are promising systems for future spintronic devices 25–27 since their discrete energy levels facilitate the manipulation of magnetization states. 28 Moreover, combining molecular spintronics with ultrafast spin dynamics 29–34 can increase storage density and information processing rates. 35 Beaurepaire et al triggered the field of optically driven spin dynamics in ferromagnetic nickel (Ni) in 1996.…”
