This $574,925 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049), supports research conducted by Professor George Christou at the University of Florida. The research aims to develop new synthetic methods for producing very small (1-3 nm) iron oxide (Fe2O3) nanoparticles as molecular compounds of uniform size and shape. These iron oxide nanoparticles are crucial for magnetism-based technologies, including spintronics and quantum information systems, as well as biomedical applications. The project employs molecular iron-oxide-carboxylate chemistry to create 1-3 nm compounds with the same structure as bulk iron oxides, providing advantages such as solubility, crystallinity, and the ability to study their magnetic and quantum properties. The research also targets the development of related Fe3+/M2+ clusters that are analogous to gamma-MFeO3 and MFe2O4 oxides, and the use of available clusters as supports for magnetic ions to explore magnetic synergies. This 3-year award, effective from September 1, 2024, reflects NSF's interest in advancing fundamental scientific understanding and technological innovation in the field of molecular nanoscience.
