Iman Molekularrak: Informazio unitate txikienaren bila

Abstract

Nowadays, storing the highest possible amount of information in size reduced devices is one of important concerns of society. Even though this kind of technology is quite developed, the discovery of the Mn12-ac coordination compound in 1993 was considered a huge step. This is because Single Molecule Magnets (SMMs) represent the smallest information units. Therefore, new devices based on this kind of materials would enhance information storage capacity. In the present work, the most important and representative discoveries since 1993 have been summarized.
