Physical Investigation on Magnetic Molecular Materials

All the attendants at the Workshop were invited to participate in the Round Table. In order to have a fruitful discussion on the large variety of physical investigations that can be made on magnetic molecular materials (mmm’s) it was considered very important to have first a good definition of which mmm’s can be considered of scientific interest. In addition, it was considered of great interest to comment on the problem of characterizing unambiguously a ferromagnet. Therefore, three major topics were proposed to the audience for discussion: Are ferromagnets the only mmm’s worth looking at? Which properties should be investigated to unambiguously characterize a material as a ferromagnet?. What techniques are most useful?. Useful caveats.
