magnetoelectric coupling

Following our previous work demonstrating the magnetoelectric coupling of spin triangles in static electric fields, our most recent publication in JACS shows how we can use pulsed electric fields to achieve the coherent manipulation of spin triangles. In this work we show that the magnetoelectric coupling is highly anisotropic with respect to the molecular orientation inside the magnetic and electric fields.

The EPR detection of magnetoelectric coupling has just been published by Chemistry, a European Journal in our article which recently appeared in early view as a "Hot paper".

This work shows how the spins of magnetic triangles inetarct with external elctric fields, a feature that could lead to their electric control, and one of the key objectives of the CHIRALQUBIT project.
