Conjugated organic polymers exhibit high electronic conductivity when doped and other optoectronic properties such as electroluminescence, electrochromism, and large non-linear optical responses. Many applications have been proposed for conjugated polymers and oligomers and some have already been commercially implemented. The most important applications involve the devices such as the organic...

The ongoing miniaturization of magnetic and electronic devices requires the search for new materials to avoid the size limits of conventional technology. Hybrid systems consisting of paramagnetic molecules and metallic substrates are promising candidates. Especially porphyrin and phthalocyanine molecules with transition metal center have attracted interest because of their tunable magnetic...

Effective spin-1/2 degrees of freedom coupled by exchange-like interactions commonly arise in theoretical modeling of magnetic systems. A textbook example is the Mott-Hubbard model at half-filling which one can recast as a spin-1/2 model with exchange interactions supplemented by multiple-spin (ring-exchange) couplings. In this talk, I will discuss how in the past few years the description of...
