Our research combines the synthesis of paramagnetic coordination compounds with advanced electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, including high-field and high-frequency EPR (HFEPR), to investigate fundamental magnetic interactions at the molecular level. We are actively developing and applying cutting-edge EPR methodologies to study a wide range of phenomena, including zero-field splitting, exchange coupling, and spin coherence in systems such as single-molecule magnets, spin arrays, and potential molecular qubits with a particular focus on systems relevant to quantum information science. A key strength of our group lies in our ability to perform measurements in pellets, films, and liquids as well as detailed angular-resolved measurements on single crystals, allowing us to access anisotropic information crucial for understanding complex quantum behavior.
The Quantum and Molecular Magnetism research group is led by Dr. Vinicius Tadeu Santana, a physicist specializing in electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and the study of molecular magnetic materials.
We investigate molecular systems with unpaired electrons using spectroscopy, synthesis, and data analysis. Our research combines unique instrumentation for high-frequency EPR spectroscopy with the targeted design of new compounds for magnetic resonance. By linking experiments with theoretical models, we contribute to the development of new materials for quantum technologies and biochemical applications alike.
