The driving goal of the M4 group is the preparation and study of Multifunctional Molecular Magnetic Materials. A broad objective, open to many possibilities, some of which are being intensively explored by different group members. An important area of research activity is focused on Molecular Nanoscience with the development of Molecular Magnetic Clusters and Nanoparticles.

This Advanced Seminar will address a wide scientific community with the aim to identify the real scientific drivers requiring novel and extreme conditions and to determine how the neutron scattering techniques could contribute. Scientists not necessarily coming from the neutron scattering community will be brought together with engineers and instrument specialists. Scientists will present the needs and raise questions to be addressed by the instrument specialists and engineers. From these discussions, we hope that novel and extreme sample environment equipment and instruments will be discussed so that new scientific areas will later benefit from neutron scattering techniques.
