Modelling molecular magnets

An international team of researchers says that it has succeeded in modelling the complete magnetic properties of the prototype molecular magnet Mn12 for the first time. The calculations will not only be crucial for developing real-world devices from the material but also for studying fundamental nanoscale quantum phenomena such as magnetic tunnelling..
