Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
New semiconductors, metals, superconductors and magnets containing organic and metal-organic molecules will be synthesised and crystallised. Structures and physical properties such as magnetic and transport, will be determined in order to establish the principles governing the relation between the crystal chemistry and bulk physical behaviour. The objective is to combine properties such as superconductivity and magnetism, magnetism and chirality, magnetism and optical transparency or magnetism and mesomorphism. The synthetic targets are charge transfer salts containing alternating layers of organic and inorganic ions, bimetallic organic-bridged networks templated by organic molecular cations and nitronyl-nitroxide molecules substituted with sidechains promoting crystallisation as salts. Magnetic structures will be determined by neutron diffraction; muon spin rotation will also be recorded. Conductivity of single crystals and magnetic susceptibility and magnetisation up to 7T will be measured from 3OO-2K Advanced physical studies such as magnetoresistance and pressure dependence will be done by collaborations in Oxford, Bordeaux and Nijmegen. MPMS7 SQUID and Oxford Instruments Maglab a.c. susceptometer, will continue to be made available to external research groups for measurement of bulk magnetic properties in low (<1(T) and high (7T) applied fields.
