Breaking the record of magnetic anisotropy in transition-metal dimers

Magnetic anisotropy is one of the critical magnetic properties of magnetic nanostructures. In our Communications Physics paper "Large magnetic anisotropy in chemically engineered iridium dimer" we show the chemical way to boost the magnetic anisotropy energy in iridium dimer to enormously large value.
