Single-Molecule Magnets (SMM) for drug delivery, imaging contrast agents, and high density storage

Description:

These compounds are easy to produce by combining a gold nanoparticle with dinuclear dysprosium SMM in a manner that retains the magnetic properties. This enables an affordable source of stable SMM to develop materials for a variety of applications in medicine and information technology.
