Lanthanide Single Molecule Magnets

Abstract

The basic information on lanthanide single-molecule magnets (SMMs) has been introduced systematically in this chapter covering the magnetism of lanthanide, the characterization and relaxation dynamics of SMMs, and advanced means of studying lanthanide SMMs. In particular, the brief introduction to the single-crystal magnetic measurements and ab initio calculations of lanthanide SMMs demonstrate the up-to-date progresses on elucidating the magnetic anisotropy and relaxation mechanism of highly anisotropic lanthanide SMMs. Such basic knowledge is very essential for the readers to grasp the subject of this book.
