title: Magnetic bistability of individual single-molecule magnets grafted on single-wall carbon nanotubes.
abstract: A POM to remember: Hexanuclear Fe(III) polyoxometalate (POM) single-molecule magnets (see structure) can be noncovalently assembled on the surface of single-wall carbon nanotubes. Complementary characterization techniques (see TEM image and magnetic hysteresis loops) demonstrate the integrity and bistability of the individual molecules, which could be used to construct single-molecule memory devices.
