Bringing Molecular Photomagnets To Light - Achieving Magnets Through Visible Light Excitation At Room Temperature
Accessible And Practical Photomagnetism With Visible Light And At Room Temperaturemagnetism Is At The Heart Of Today’S Magnetic Memory Applications, Including High-Density Magnetic Recording And Magnetic Random Access Memory. Ferromagnetism, A Property Allowing Magnetisation States To Be Maintained For Long Periods Of Time, And Ferromagnetic Switching Are The Enablers. Ferromagnetic Switching Can Be Accomplished In Several Ways. Funded By The European Research Council, The Lux-Inventa Project Will Harness Photomagnetic Materials, Or Photomagnets, To Enable Ferromagnetic Switching With Ultimately Renewable Solar Photons. Current Photomagnets Remain In The Laboratory Because They Require Very Low Operating Temperatures. Lux-Inventa Will Overcome This Barrier With Novel Room-Temperature Molecular Photomagnets Thanks To Enhanced Understanding Of The Processes Occurring During Photon Absorption By Photomagnetic Chromophores.
