Novel Switching Magnetic MaterialsFrom Complexes to Hybrids

Résumé

In this doctoral thesis, novel synthetic methodologies are established for obtaining bistable magnetic materials, including spin crossover compounds and single ion magnets. These insights have paved the way for designing and fabricating graphene hybrids by incorporating switchable molecules via covalent functionalization. A variety of physicochemical techniques have been employed to precisely evaluate magnetostructural correlations and identify functional groups on graphene. These results open the route for a wider range of applications involving barocalorics, data storage, or spintronics, among others.
