Molecular photomagnets
Résumé
Manipulation and control of electronic properties of a material by light stimuli is an appealing perspective for applications in data storage and/or sensing. Systems showing light‐induced modification of magnetic properties are known as photomagnetic materials. To date, research in photomagneticmaterials has examined both fundamental aspects and practical applications. The fundamental research orientates efforts to understand the origin of the photomagnetic effect, that is, the intrinsic phenomenon at the atomic level, whereas the applied research deals with realization of devices applied for shaping these materials.
