Molecular Heterogeneous Multiferroics (DOE BES Final Technical Report)

This project aims to explore a new class of molecular heterogeneous multiferroics towards room temperature stimuli-responsive magnetoelectricity by untangling the complex interplay between molecular magnetism and molecular ferroelectricity, and their stimuli-responsiveness. The research hypothesis is to examine if the rational design and molecular engineering of hydrogen bonded molecular heterogeneous multiferroics will enable rapid proton-transfer between molecular ferroelectric and magnetic building blocks to control its magnetism and intramolecular spin and dipole interactions, a promising pathway toward a new mechanism of room temperature ME coupling effect in molecular materials. With arbitrary choice and precise organization of molecular building blocks underlying tunable spin and dipole interactions, driven by external stimuli (electrical, magnetic and optical), a variety of multifunctional molecular multiferroics will be created and characterized, which could provide the understanding for the design of next-generation stimuli-responsive molecular magnetoelectronics.
