A Quantum Chemical Approach to Spins on Surfaces
Molecules and atoms with unpaired electrons exhibit a net magnetic moment and serve as the building blocks of molecular quantum devices for next-generation technologies. As the design principles for long-lived molecular magnets become clearer, the next challenge is assembling these units into spin lattices via surface deposition and addressing their magnetic behavior at the single-molecule level. Advancing molecular quantum technologies requires understanding the electronic structure and magnetic properties of these building blocks and their interactions with the environment; thus, it depends on quantum chemical calculations. However, our current theoretical toolkit for molecular magnetic…
