Quantum
magnetic materials
Single
Molecular Magnets (SMMs):The energy
needs of the digital economy are growing exponentially and account for more
than 10% of global electricity usage. QMs such as single-molecule magnets
(SMMs) provide a promising approach to meeting these needs by storing and
processing data at the quantum molecular level, resulting in
ultra-energy-efficient electronics with the improved performance needed for
critical areas such as quantum computation and super high-density data storage
media. SMMs will change quantum computing and molecular electronics. The major
problem is that SMMs can only be employed in subzero circumstances. To be
useful, they must work at ambient temperature while preserving their magnetic
memory without costly coolants. Magneto-optical
QMs (MOQMs): Their
peculiar electrical structure gives them unique optical properties, making them
excellent for quantum luminous materials. Phosphors
and luminous probes are used for anti-counterfeiting, illumination, and ion,
biomolecule, and temperature sensing. In both themes, the trainee will use quantum computational tools, enhanced
characterization, machine learning approaches to guide synthesis and
maximize the QMs properties, and unique low-carbon foot print device making
capabilities based on reactive printing.
