In this thesis we investigate in the semiclassical approximation how unconventional magnetic ordering, that is magnetic ordering which is not predicted at the classical level, emerges in a variety of frustrated models of quantum magnetism. The first part o ...
The magnetic properties of the two uranium coordination compounds, [K(18c6)][U(OSi-((OBu)-Bu-t)(3))(4)] and [K(18c6)][U(N(SiMe3)(2))(4)], both presenting the U-III ion in similar pseudotetrahedral coordination environments but with different O- or N-donor ...
Because of their remarkable and unmatched optical and magnetic properties, the lanthanides are under the limelight when it comes to high technology. These elements are used in strategic applications such as optical glasses and lasers, telecommunications, l ...
Mixed-metal uranium compounds are very attractive candidates in the design of single-molecule magnets (SMMs), but only one 3d-5f hetero-polymetallic SMM containing a uranium center is known. Herein, we report two trimeric heterodimetallic 3d-5f complexes s ...
Single-chain magnets (SCMs) are materials composed of magnetically isolated one-dimensional (1D) units exhibiting slow relaxation of magnetization. The occurrence of SCM behavior requires the fulfillment of stringent conditions for exchange and anisotropy ...
The metal-mediated redox transformation of CO2 in mild conditions is an area of great current interest. The role of cooperativity between a reduced metal center and a Lewis acid center in small-molecule activation is increasingly recognized, but has not so ...
High Cr (9-14% Cr) ferritic/martensitic steels are considered as one of the most promising candidates for structural materials for advanced nuclear power plants. Therefore, the understanding of the evolution of properties under operation conditions is of p ...
In this thesis the electrical properties, magnetic states and spin wave resonances of individual magnetically hollow ferromagnetic nanotubes have been studied. They were prepared from the different materials Nickel (Ni), Permalloy (Py) and Cobalt-Iron-Boro ...
Two new complexes based on pyridine-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylic acid(H(4)pdtc) as ligand, {[Co-2(pdtc)(H2O)(4)]center dot H2O}(n) (1) and {Mn-2(pdtc)(H2O)(4)}(n) (2), have been obtained by hydrothermal syntheses and characterized by IR, elemental analysis, X-r ...
We demonstrate the tracking of the spin dynamics of ensemble and individual magnetic ferritin proteins from cryogenic up to room temperature using the nitrogen-vacancy color center in diamond as a magnetic sensor. We employ different detection protocols to ...
