Popis
Shrnutí:[Display omitted] •Possibility to disentangle noncollinearity in all the crystal systems.•A detailed relation between magnetic anisotropy and crystal structure is enlighten.•CTM provides crystal field splitting, energy levels and wavefunction composition.•The coupling of CTM with microwave radiation provides spectroscopic information.•Ability to obtain molecular order of anisotropic films layer-by-layer. Cantilever Torque Magnetometry (CTM) is one of the leading techniques to deeply understand magnetic anisotropy of coordination compounds. The knowledge of magnetic anisotropy is a mandatory requirement before proceeding with any future application related to the magnetic properties of coordination compounds, such as quantum computation or information storage. This review enlightens that CTM offers a unique combination of accuracy and precision to disentangle noncollinear contributions inside Single Crystals as well as the sensitivity to detect molecular order of thin films. CTM can also detect quantum phenomena such as magnetization steps and molecular hysteresis curves. Moreover, it can also provide the energy levels splitting and wavefunctions composition, especially if coupled with microwave radiation.
