Results for tag: "Single Molecule Magnet"

Single Molecule Magnets (SMMs) are a type of advanced material that exhibit magnetic bistability at the molecular level. This means that the magnetization of the material can be switched between two stable states, allowing for the storage of digital information. SMMs are composed of transition metal ions, such as manganese, iron, and cobalt, surrounded by organic ligands. This combination of metal and organic components gives SMMs unique properties, such as high thermal stability and low power consumption. SMMs have a wide range of potential applications, including data storage, spintronics, and quantum computing. They are also being explored for use in medical imaging, drug delivery, and sensing. Companies in the SMM market include Quantum Design, Nanomagnetics Instruments, and Magnonics. Show Less Read more
