Description | In this project we have developed a better understanding of spin crossover molecular systems, and have explored how external media including light and pressure can influence the spin crossover behaviour. With our collaborators in Leeds, Oxford and Warwick we are building up a better understanding of the behaviour of these materials, and have developed a better understanding of how to manipulate the properties. Several new key classes of materials have been developed that exhibit unusual magnetic behaviour and we have obtained systems with large hysteresis. The number of publications continues to build with two or three more in the pipeline. members of the team are actively writing a follow up grant to exploit the findings made during this project. |
Exploitation Route | With the knowledge that we have gained in the design and control of spin crossover materials, others can use this information to design and fabricate devices using these materials. Others are citing our papers and using the information that we have disseminated. |
