Observation of Magnetodielectric Effect in a Dysprosium-Based Single-Molecule Magnet

Materials that possess coupled magnetic and electric properties are of significant interest because of their potential use in next-generation magnetoelectric devices such as digital information storage. To date, the magnetoelectric materials that have been studied in-depth have been limited mainly to inorganic oxides such as perovskite oxides. Molecular materials are a promising alternative because their magnetic and electric elements can be...
