The fast evolution of science can be demanding to follow. For this reason, DIPC organizes training courses on specific scientific topics that help learning the basics with insight.
Scope & aim
These open courses are midway a compact scientific seminar and a long University course with the aim of providing many more details than a regular seminar while keeping the innovative aspects of current research.
They are addressed to the whole scientific community, from Professor to PhD or Master levels, being the last specially encouraged to attend. Usually no registration is required.
Coordinates & format
DIPC Courses, unless otherwise stated, take place in the "Josebe Olarra" DIPC's Seminar Room (building 1, DIPC headquarters). They consist in 90-120 min lectures, with a maximum of 8 lectures, typically during 4 to 8 weeks.
The courses are expected to be participative with time for questions and discussions.

PhD Thesis defense: Spin Interactions in Organic Molecular Architectures

10:00 | Sala de Actos de la Facultad de Química
This thesis investigates spin interactions in atomically precise organic nanostructures synthesized on metal substrates using on-surface synthesis techniques. While magnetism is usually associated with transition metals, it can also emerge in light elements like carbon through π-magnetism, driven by unpaired p-shell electrons. Magnetic carbon-based nanostructures are expected to exhibit unique properties such as enhanced spin delocalization and long coherence times, making them promising candidates for spintronics and quantum information applications. We employ scanning probe microscopy techniques—mainly scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS)—along with theoretical simulations to study various organic systems with differing numbers of unpaired π electrons: a non-planar organic diradical (2-OS); a triradical nanographene (TTAT), formed by joining three [3]triangulenes via a nitrogen-doped triangulene core; and a [3]triangulene-based macrocycle (TNS), accumulating twelve unpaired electrons. Finally, we explore strategies for fabricating two-dimensional covalent networks using open-shell triangulene units, with the aim of creating extended organic spin architectures.
