ObjectiveTraditional magnetic properties have been obtained by using spin electrons in ground states in bulk materials but magnetism from nanostructures, as well as, optical or electrical excitation are little explored. There are significant challenges to take advantage of these mechanisms; for example, spin ordering usually exists over short distances and it is difficult to obtain superior magnetic properties. However, the possibility of synergistic interactions between magnetic, electronic, and optic effects may provide new properties and application potential. The approach for developing novel nano-magnetic materials will use significant spin coupling in nanomaterials or in molecular excited states under optical or electrical excitation to generate strong magnetic properties and magnetically controllable multiple functions. This research effort presents a unique research area to generate superior magnetic properties for application to Air Force technologies. The US, Japan, China, France, Germany, Brazil and Korea, etc. have been investing in the areas of novel magnetic materials, nano-magnetic materials synthesis, molecular spin physics, and magnetic structure-property characterizations in both ground and excited states. Clearly, nano-magnetic and multi-functional materials are expected to become a critical component in next-generation detection, sensing, and renewable-energy technologies.
