Spin+Molecular Structure: Tuning hybrid molecule/magnet systems by molecular design (A09)

• Subject Area: Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: since 2016
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 268565370

Project A09 explores the structure-property relations at hybrid single molecule magnet/ metal interfaces. The two main aims are: controlling hybridization effects and tuning the magnetic properties of hybrid molecule/metal systems through molecular engineering. For this, we will use a complementary approach, combining investigations of the molecular systems in the bulk with investigations of the hybrid interfaces using x-ray spectroscopy, magneto-transport measurements, and diamond-based magnetometry.
