Novel Nano-Magnetic Materials and Multifunctional Materials

Objective

This program investigates magnetic material systems at the nano level. Traditional magnetic properties have been obtained by using spins in ground states through molecular, morphological, and dimensional controls. However, integrating magnetic properties with optics and electronics have become an emerging area necessary for developing spin-controllable optics and electronics to advance sensing, detection, and renewable-energy applications. 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. The recent international collaborations have made significant progress on optically controllable magnetic properties, coupling between magnetic and optic properties, coupling between magnetic and electric properties, and magnetic properties in renewable-energy technologies.
