Dr Stuart Langley - Researcher Profile

Biography

Stuart works in the School of Chemistry in the Faculty of Science at Monash University as a Research Fellow.

 

Stuart’s research interests are in the area of molecular magnetism and his work deals with the investigation of 3d, 3d-4f and 4f cluster compounds. These types of complexes display interesting magnetic properties including single molecule magnet (SMM) behavior and large magnetocaloric effects (MCE).
