Description

Strongly Correlated Molecular Solids


There is growing evidence that ferroic orders and metallic transport in macromolecular solids depend on the structural ordering and dimensionality. However, it is still unclear what conditions, charge-transfer and polaronic features are required for molecular solid systems to behave the multiferroic and/or metallic state. In addition to its scientifically relevant, this is also becoming a practical interest in connecting with unusual high-Tc molecular multiferroics and even superconductors. In this talk, I will discuss materials design and transformative manufacturing of molecular crystalline solids, and promising prospects in ferroelectrics, magnets and multiferroics.
