PhD student (f/m/d) (M.Sc. in Physics or Chemistry) to study the magnetic anisotropy in gas phase single molecule magnets using XAS and XMCD in a cryogenic ion trap (2021/12/03)
We are investigating the electronic and magnetic properties of
single molecule magnets, transition metal ions and
transition metal centers in clusters, organometallic
coordination entities, and chelate complexes that we
either build up and investigate atom by atom or
ligand by ligand or spray from a liquid into the gas
phase. To this end, we operate a unique cryogenic
ion trap setup for gas-phase soft-x-ray absorption
(XAS) and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD)
spectroscopy as well as a liquid-jet setup for
resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) at BESSY
II, both of which are designed to study
highly-dilute gas-phase and liquid-phase matter with
highest sensitivity. We use these tools to arrive at
a fundamental understanding of energy levels, spin
states, oxidation states, and valence electron
delocalization in coordination entities of 3d and 4f
transition elements.
We offer a PhD position to
'Investigate the magnetic anisotropy of gas phase single molecule magnets'.
Your main objective is to investigate the spin states of gas
phase single molecule magnets as well as determining
their blocking temperature - a measure for the
transition from a superparamagnetic to a blocked
spin state. This will allow to study the interplay
of the intrinsic magnetic anisotropy and further
processes influencing the spin relaxation. The
species of interest are prepared from electrospray
ionization, magnetron sputtering, and gas-phase ion
chemistry. Mass-selected samples are probed in a
cryogenic ion trap. You will work closely with a
team of postdoctoral research associates and PhD
students as well as in cooperation with renowned
labs.

Marshall Luban (2021/01/22)
|
Our very good friend and internationally well-respected
colleague Marshall Luban passed away 9 January 2021. We will
miss him very much.
Marshall worked among other topics on molecular magnetism. His
goal was to derive general physical properties of spin systems
that result from e.g. archetypical geometries such as rings or
Archimedean solids. He was deeply interested in understanding
the physics of such systems, and paid little regard to current
fashions in science. This approach continues to inspire us.
Marshall was really gifted in bringing together people from
chemistry, physics, and mathematics. He did this in his very
polite and cautious way, with a quiet and kind sense of
humour. Starting around 1998 he managed to create what Hiroyuki
Nojiri once named “The worldwide Ames group“, a group of
colleagues that turned into friends. Without his initiative,
most of us would not have met and would not have become close
friends. He has been a very good “chemist” to synthesize a
network of scientists, and he created a new phase of research by
mixing us in his flask.
He kept strong relations with several places such as Manchester
or Sendai, however, he visited Osnabrück very frequently,
practically once a year in the early 2000s. He imprinted his
scientific joy for molecular magnetism to a larger fraction of
Osnabrück’s physics department – something that we (from
Osnabrück) never regretted. The University of Osnabrück awarded
an honorary Ph.D. to Marshall Luban in 2006: “In the context of
a life-long scientific achievement, Marshall Luban has
substantially promoted the field of molecular magnetism – both
by his own work as well as by initiating international
collaborations.”
For some younger scientists – Larry Engelhardt, Nikolaos
Konstantinidis, Ioannis Rousochatzakis, Jürgen Schnack, and
Christian Schröder – he became a scientific father. All of us
learnt from his example and we attempt to follow this example,
putting people first with science a close second.

Professor Peter Day FRS was a pioneer in materials chemistry,
interested in the physical properties of new inorganic and
molecular compounds and in the best way to model and to explain
them theoretically. His work with Robin on mixed valence
systems, known as the "Robin and Day classification", starting
with Prussian blue "the grand-daddy of all mixed valence
compounds", is a remarkable scientific piece, still fully
operative among modern researchers. Peter was known to design
elegant sophisticated experiments and the theoretical models
useful to interpret them: optics, spectroscopy, magnetism,
(super)conductivity.
During 40 years of active research, Peter published around 700
articles, in collaboration with numerous groups in UK, the US,
Europe, India, Japan. Peter was elected fellow of the Royal
Society in 1986 and member of the Academia Europaea in 1992. He
has received awards from the Royal Society and the Royal Society

Magnetochemistry Special Issue "Magnetic Properties at Extreme Conditions"
Dear Colleagues,
Extreme conditions research bridges coordination chemistry,
solid state chemistry, structure, magnetism, and
spectroscopy and can be used to unravel new physical
behavior in superconductivity, charge transport, and
magnetism. Pressure can be applied to a range of molecular
magnetic materials, including single-molecule magnets,
spin crossover complexes, spin chains, and magnetic
frameworks. Here, applied pressure provides a direct probe
for investigating magnetostructural correlations, avoiding
the need to examine numerous different chemical
derivatives of a given material. It is rapidly becoming a
convenient tool to study molecular magnetic materials,
where it has been used to increase magnetic ordering
temperatures, change the orientation of Jahn–Teller axes,
and control magnetic anisotropy.
This Special Issue of Magnetochemistry aims at publishing
a collection of research contributions illustrating recent
achievements in all aspects of the development, study, and
understanding of magnetic properties at extreme
conditions.

PhD position available at the University of Tasmania, Australia Synthesis of dinuclear radical bridge clusters
In the absence of a magnetic field, certain molecules can retain
magnetisation; they exhibit a hysteresis (or a lagging) in
the magnetisation below a certain temperature. The term
Single Molecular Magnet (SMM) has been coined to describe
such molecules. The origin of the magnetic hysteresis is
not from long range magnetic ordering as seen in classical
magnetic materials, rather is intrinsic to the molecular
features of the molecules. The best lanthanide SMMs are
usually based on monometallic complexes. However, radical
bridges have been used to provide a very strong
interaction between the unpaired electrons in the
contracted 4f orbitals in dinuclear lanthanide
complexes. This project involves the synthesis of new
dinuclear complexes involving the verdazyl ligand.
Project details can be found at:

Olivier Kahn International Award 2017
|
The European Institute
of Molecular Magnetism,
the President and
the members of the Olivier Kahn Award International Jury are
pleased to announce that the laureate of the sixth Olivier Kahn
International Award is Dr. Matteo Mannini, Assistant Professor,
Department of Chemistry, University of Florence, Italy.
The 2017 laureate, Dr. Matteo Mannini, has made original
contributions in the field of the integration of magnetic
molecules in nanometric architectures towards molecular
spintronics. The laureate spent his young career in the
Laboratory for Molecular Magnetism (LAMM), in the Chemistry
Department of the University of Florence, with frequent stays in
several European Synchrotron Radiation facilities.
In his studies the laureate has been interested in some
fundamental aspect of the magnetic memory of
molecules. Importantly his results can serve as proof of
principle that single molecules magnets (SMM), can be observed,
not only in the bulk of a material but also when they are
grafted or deposited on metallic substrates. This paves the way
to more applicative research through the development of hybrid
devices for organic spintronics. The shift from the crystal to
the surface has been a recent evolution in molecular
magnetism. It was necessary to address individual molecules and
to fully exploit the molecular origin of the hysteresis of
SMMs. It is far from being trivial. The overall study was
successful because of a rigorous and multidisciplinary approach
established in large part by Dr. Mannini.
Dr. Mannini has played a crucial role acting as a very efficient
link between chemists and physicists active in surface science
and synchrotron radiation techniques. The area of phenomena and
classes of materials that he has investigated with synchrotron
light is particularly wide as it goes from spin crossover to
valence tautomerism and from single molecule magnets to single
chain magnets. In most cases he developed strategies for surface
deposition and for monitoring the bistable behaviour. Far from
single-shot studies, the laureate has developed reliable
preparation and characterization
protocols to provide new and reproducible results, a mandatory
aspect for making real advances in this difficult research
area.
Supported by the members of the well-established and very active
molecular magnetism laboratory in Florence, the best specialists
in X-ray absorption and many fruitful collaborations, Matteo
Mannini was able to choose the appropriate samples and
techniques, to develop his own creativity to finally tackle the
challenges of the “crystal to surface” shift. So doing, he
became a reference in the field of molecular magnetic materials
at the nanoscale.

CNRS Silver Medal 2016 for Wolfgang Wernsdorfer
|
|
Alexander von Humboldt professorship for Wolfgang Wernsdorfer
|
Wolfgang Wernsdorfer wins one of the prestigious Alexander von
Humboldt awards this year,
see web page of the Alexander von Humboldt
Foundation. The award amount is 3.5 million EUR for
researchers in theoretical disciplines and 5 million EUR for
those conducting experimental research. It finances the
professorship for the first five years.
The foundation writes: "Wolfgang Wernsdorfer's specialism is
experimental solid state physics at the interface with chemistry
and material science. He is one of the world's leading experts
on nanomagnets and their use in quantum spintronics. Already as
a doctoral researcher at the Low Temperature Laboratory in
Grenoble, he developed the nano-SQUID, a breakthrough device
allowing him to measure the magnetic properties of single
nanostructures and molecules. Wernsdorfer discovered the role
played by quantum laws in molecular magnetism and was thus able
to build electronic circuits in which the electric current is
controlled by the magnetism in the molecule. One of his most
recent ambitions is to integrate tiny, molecular quantum
processors in the state-of-the-art CMOS technology used in
microelectronics. This could lead to nanomagnets being used in
future quantum computers."

ERC Advanced Grant for Prof. Achim Müller
|
|
ERC Starting Grant for Prof. Paul Kögerler
|
Paul Kögerler is receiving a "Starting Grant" from the European
Research Council (ERC).
Revolutionary innovations in microelectronics require new
materials: molecular magnets, used as integral transistor
components, for instance, are expected to offer several decisive
advantages, such as extremely low energy consumption and highly
complex switching functions that are hard to realize using
conventional semiconductor logic devices. The basis for these
properties is the joint utilization of magnetic and electronic
quantum states of single magnetic molecules.
In the "Synthetic Expansion of Magnetic Molecules Into
Spintronic Devices" project (MOLSPINTRON), Paul Kögerler
sets out to tackle one of central difficulties in molecular spin
electronics: the precise contacting of the particle. To do so he
utilizes highly stable magnetic metal oxide nanomolecules, at
whose surfaces the contacts can be made synthetically, i.e. with
atomic precision, using both conductive and nonconductive
interfaces.
Paul Kögerler, born on July 6, 1971, is a University
Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the RWTH Aachen Faculty of
Mathematics, Computer Science, and Natural Sciences. His key
research areas are molecular magnetism, metal oxide clusters,
and their utilization in information technology and medical
diagnostics.

Olivier Kahn International Award 2011
|
The European Institute of Molecular Magnetism, the chairman and
the members of the Olivier Kahn Award International Jury are
pleased to announce that the laureate of the third Olivier Kahn
International Award is Professor Stefano Carretta of the
University of Parma. The laureate, Prof. Stefano Carretta has
made a major contribution to the underlying theory of molecular
magnetism. The aim of his research has been twofold: the
understanding of fundamental phenomena and the identification of
systems suitable for technological applications, especially in
the field of quantum computation. Prof. Carretta works in an
outstanding team of theorists at the University of Parma and his
imagination and ability to communicate very complex ideas are
two of his many remarkable skills.
|
The idea that molecular magnets could be used in quantum
computation shows how the field of molecular magnetism is
developing. Very recently Prof. Carretta has published
calculations that describe how a quantum simulator could
function: the paper shows how molecular magnetism could be used
to create physical systems and experiments that seemed merely
visionary when proposed by Richard Feynman in the 1950s. This
contribution is one of many that Prof. Carretta has made, which
challenge the experimental scientists in the field to produce
the chemistry and physics needed to satisfy his theories.
The international jury delivering the Award selected the
laureate among several young brilliant scientists, chemists or
physicists, having contributed to the development of molecular
magnetism in Europe and having provided the international
community with outstanding scientific results. The jury were
hugely impressed by the very high standard of the candidates.
The Award was presented on the occasion of the European
Conference on Molecular Magnetism, ECMM 2011, helt in
Paris, France, on November 22-25. The laureate presented an
invited lecture on this occasion.
