In the Laboratory for EPR, we use CW and pulsed EPR to study low-dimensional quantum magnetic systems (such as quantum spin liquids, spin chains and spin dimer systems), nanoparticles activated with paramagnetic impurities, fullerenes with superconducting properties and fullerenes with long coherence times for quantum technologies applications. We also have strong collaborations with various industry partners, mainly for characterisations of paramagnetic centers.
