Nmr-mri, Usr And Mssbauer Spectroscopies in Molecular Magnets And Magnetic Nanoparticles

In the last years, after the discovery of molecular nanomagnets showing novel quantum effects, a renewed interest for the study of molecular magnetism and multifunctional molecular materials has emerged. These materials have triggered an intense research activity also in view of their possible applicabilities as, for example, as nanosized information storage units and as magnetic nanoparticles for bio-medicine. Several fundamental aspects of the microscopic static and dynamic properties of these molecular materials have been obtained by means of spectroscopies using local probes, as nuclei and muons. In this book an extensive overview on the results obtained during the last decade and on recent achievements in the study of molecular magnets by means of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Muon Spin Rotation, Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Mossbauer techniques is presented. The aim is to introduce the reader to these techniques and to give a general background on their application to molecular spin systems.Carretta, Pietro is the author of 'Nmr-mri, Usr And Mssbauer Spectroscopies in Molecular Magnets And Magnetic Nanoparticles ', published 2007 under ISBN 9788847005310 and ISBN 8847005310.
