Broken symmetries in relativistic quantum chemistry

BRUNCH is a fundamental project that will provide an entirely new theoretical framework and develop an ambitious methodological toolbox to tackle the current challenges of molecular magnetism. f-ions-based molecular magnets and subsequent multifunctional materials are on the way to offering the building blocks for tomorrow's technologies, such as quantum computing and spintronics. Most of their appealing features originate from relativistic effects, which are huge in lanthanide and actinide-based complexes. Whilst theoretical chemistry is known to have provided a critical understanding of magnetic phenomena, it faces the reality of increasing complexity in terms of the size and diversity of…
