Abstract
Single-ion magnets (SIMs) are molecular compounds that have gained increasing relevance due to their potential applications in spintronics, quantum computing, and high-density information storage. Slow magnetic relaxation in a mononuclear lanthanide (Ln) complex was first reported in 2003. The fact that these compounds present the highest relaxation energy barriers for the reversal of the magnetization and blocking temperatures up to date makes them the most studied family of SIMs. Their unquenched orbital moment and strong spin-orbit coupling promote anisotropic magnetic properties in a ligand field, allowing the occurrence of slow relaxation of the magnetization.
