Накратко на български
Нанографени структури с добавени органични радикали и редки земни метали се анализират, за да се разбере как размерът и конфигурацията им влияят върху спина. Това помага при разработването на нови методи за съхранение на информация и създаването на квантови компютри.

Molecular Magnetic Materials Based on Nanographenes: Controllable Synthesis and Characterization
Spintronics based on molecular magnets, in which properties of bulk magnetic materials and molecular quantum effects coexist, has received a lot of attention, with potential applications in molecular spin detection and manipulation for information storage and the realization of spin qubits for quantum computing. One of the driving ideas in this research field has been the expected long spin-lifetime in organic semiconductors due to the presence of light atoms such as carbon or hydrogen, a key asset that spintronics had been missing for years. Nanographenes (NGs) consisting of hexagonal sp2 hybridized carbons is structurally confined nanoscale graphene segments. As a result of their relatively strong electron–phonon coupling and large spin coherence, π-conjugated organic semiconductors may offer a promising alternative approach to semiconductor spintronics. The main objective of this fellowship was to construct NGs with well-defined structure decorating by different spin centers, like organic radicals and rare-earth metals. This fellowship enabled the systematical investigation of the impact of different size and configuration on the behaviour of spin and revealed the intrinsic mechanism of spin-injection and interaction in molecular magnetic materials based on NGs.

Цел на проекта
Molecular magnets based molecular spintronics, in which properties of bulk magnetic materials and molecular quantum effects coexist, have received a lot of attention, with potential applications in molecular spin detection and manipulation for information storage and the realization of spin qubits for quantum computing. But, the field has been struggling with limited candidates, and there is a constant searching for new materials. Recently, nanographenes, including graphene molecules (GMs) and graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) have displayed great potential in the application of electronics. The combination of nanographene with spin-bearing centers has been proved to be an effective way to construct novel molecular magnetic materials. However, to achieve reliable structure-property correlations and desired functions, control of the nanographene structure at the atomic level is required. This goal can be realized through bottom-up syntheses starting with rationally designed molecular precursors. The primary objective of this project is using bottom-up synthetic approach to efficiently realize radical functionalized GMs and GNRs with defined structures, to systematically investigate the impact of their size and configuration on the behaviour of spin (multidisciplinary), and finally to reveal the intrinsic mechanism of spin-injection and interaction in molecular magnetic materials based on nanographenes (interdisciplinary).This project will create an excellent opportunity for me to build upon my own expertise in bottom-up synthesis of graphene molecules possessing atomically precise structures with the Prof. Bogani group’s experience in the research of magnetic and electronic properties of nanocarbon materials.
