The role of the substrate on the magnetic behaviour of sublimated magnetic molecules

PhD thesis is focused on the deposition and investigation of different magnetic molecules on substrates of technological interest. The aim was to understand the role of the substrates in preserving and controlling the molecular magnetic properties. The study has been focused on the deposition of TbPc2 and Fe4SMe molecules on titanium dioxide (TiO2) and Pb superconducting materials. For all the investigated systems a multi-technical characterization (XPS, STM, XAS, and others) in an Ultra-High Vacuum environment has been performed. Besides, Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy (STS) has been used to investigate the local magnetic properties of the candidate molecular qubit [CpTi(cot)] deposited on superconducting Pb islands.
