NANOMATERIALS FOR EMERGENT TECHNOLOGIES
Description
Which chemical compounds exhibit the best magnetic or electron transport properties? The analysis through electronic structure methods provides an accurate understanding of the physical basis of these properties. The most promising molecular materials can include organic radicals, coordination compounds and 2D or 3D materials, that are technologically interesting due to their energy transfer, electronic and magnetic properties, in the search of multifunctional and switchable materials. Computational studies are extremely helpful to implement experiments with appealing targets to be synthesized.
