Abstract given by the source: Este projeto visa desenvolver novos materiais magnéticos 2-D com base em hidróxidos duplos lamelares (LDHs). Os LDHs magnéticos com ordenação-catiónica têm-se revelado interessantes do ponto de vista fundamental para modelação experimental de ímanes quânticos 2-D. Os fenómenos cooperativos em LDHs magnéticos podem ser potenciados através da formação de camadas usando cristalites destacadas anisotropicamente. O comportamento magnético dos LDHs depende da distância entre camadas lamelares, determinada pelo tamanho/orientação dos aniões intercalados e pela quantidade relativa de água cristalina entre camadas. Estas características tornam os LDHs magnéticos promissores para aplicações em sensores ambientais. O seu desenvolvimento requer uma equipa especializada com experiência em preparação e caracterização das estruturas cristalinas dos LDHs, bem como na formação/orientação das camadas lamelares (UAVR) e no estudo detalhado das propriedades magnéticas e modelação teórica dos LDHs (UJPS). This project aims to develop new 2-D magnetic materials based on layered double hydroxides (LDHs). Cation-ordered magnetic LDHs are of great fundamental interest as convenient objects for the experimental modelling of 2-D quantum magnets. Cooperative phenomena in magnetic LDHs can be enhanced via formation of the arranged layers of their detached anisotropic crystallites. Moreover, the magnetic behaviour of such LDHs is dependent on interlayer distance which, in its turn, is determined by size/orientation of the intercalated anions and the relative amount of crystal water. All this makes magnetic LDHs promising for applications as environmental sensors. Development of such materials requires consolidation of specialists of complementary expertise, both in preparation and crystal structure characterization of magnetic LDHs and in formation of arranged layers (UAVR), as well as in the detailed study of their magnetic properties followed by theoretical modelling (UJPS).
