The fundamentals of molecular magnetism

Molecular magnetism occupies a crossing point between two fields of research-materials science and metal biochemistry – and plays an important role in the field of molecular electronics. The “Fundamentals of molecular magnetism” is the textbook to comprehensively address both the experimental and theoretical aspects of the relatively new field of research. It introduces the basic concepts concerning magnetization and magnetic susceptibility, establishes the fundamental equations of molecular magnetism and examines molecules containing a unique magnetic center, including the highspinlow- spin transition compounds. The textbook highlights polymetallic species, reviews the p…
