Multitechnique investigation for rational design of molecular spin qubits

The investigation of the relaxation times of a series of vanadium(IV)-based molecular spin qubits in order to find a correlation to their structural properties. The magnetic system and the lattice structure have been studied by using a multitechnique investigation based on EPR, ac susceptometry, THz spectroscopy and 4D-Inelastic Neutron Scattering. New techniques have been proposed, such as Muon Spin Relaxation spectroscopy, and first preliminary results have been achieved by investigating Dy-based SMMs. A small part of the work is devoted to the characterization of a cobalt(II)-based SMM and 1D spin helices based on lanthanides by using Cantilever Torque Magnetometry.
