Nowadays, 2D magnetic molecular materials received considerable attention. The realization of single-spin devices could revolutionize quantum computing, molecular spintronics, or high-density information storage. It relies on the possibility of creating arrays of discrete magnetic units, like the Single-Molecule Magnets (SMMs), on suitable substrates which can function as device electrodes. The intrinsic properties of these units should be preserved with contact with the 2D Material surfaces. We develop calculations and pulse magneto transport experimental setup to study molecular nanomagnets interaction and relaxation proprieties on a 2D Materials template. We also aim to investigate magnetic refrigeration based on the magnetocaloric effect in 2D Materials. This second-developed technology may improve existing cryogenic systems.

Our research also extends to the growth of cutting-edge chemical and biochemical sensors. Our work involves creating sensors capable of detecting and analyzing DNA, RNA, and proteins. By leveraging advancements in sensor technology, we aim to contribute to the field of bio-analytics, enabling precise and rapid identification of biomolecules for various applications.
