Achieving ultrafast photomagnetic switching of single-molecule magnets (SMMs) could lead to simultaneous fast and dense data storage devices. To facilitate this, a thorough understanding of the ultrafast dynamics emerging after ultrashort laser pulse excitation is essential. However, the complex nature of these materials means there is a lack of established experimental techniques that can probe the spin dynamics in SMMs…

Computational spectroscopy has emerged as a critical tool for researchers looking to achieve both qualitative and quantitative interpretations of experimental spectra. Over the past decade, increased interactions between experiment and theory have created a positive feedback loop that has stimulated developments in both domains…
