In an interdisciplinary collaboration, chemists and physicists design and investigate new quantum magnets that can be used as magnetic refrigerant materials for sub-Kelvin cooling. The research group tries to understand the magnetic properties of various molecules starting from assumptions about their pairwise interactions.The key problem, and the reason why supercomputers come into play, results from the quantum nature of the elementary magnetic moments.
