NANOMATERIALS FOR EMERGENT TECHNOLOGIES


Description

Using a multiscale approach, the properties of magnetic molecules, single transport molecular joints or switching nanodevices is investigated on the basis of their physical properties. The study of molecular, multifunctional and switchable materials oftechnological interest is key in order to enhance their properties. The outputs from our models greatly help synthetic labs toward the rational design ofnew materials with tailored properties.
