Spinhenge@Home

Spinhenge@home is a distributed computing project for the BOINC client.It is a project of the Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

The project began beta testing on September 1, 2006. This project uses the Metropolis Monte Carlo algorithm to calculate and simulate spin dynamics in nanoscale molecular magnets.

Introduction

For more than 20 years classical spin dynamics simulational methods have proven to be a very useful tool to examine the temperature dependent magnetic properties of microscopic and mesoscopic spin arrangements. With the help of these techniques one is immediately able to calculate a wide variety of important experimentally accessible thermodynamic properties for all kinds of magnetic structures though only within a classical picture. Nevertheless, as long as a full quantum mechanical treatment is not available these calculations represent the only way to achieve any insight into the underlying physics for large structures.

Who benefits from this project?

Nano-technology is being celebrated as one of the key technologies of the 21st century. Pioneering innovations are expected particularly in electronics. Nano-technology aims to manipulate matter at the atomic level. While this is in general still a dream, processes do currently exist for creating and placing magnetic molecules. By means of these magnetic molecules new nano-magnetic applications, such as highly integrated memory modules or tiny magnetic switches are currently being developed. Biotechnological and medical applications like localized tumor chemotherapy may also be improved. This project, in co-operation with the universities Osnabrück and Bielefeld and the Ames Laboratory in Ames, Iowa, performs extensive numeric simulations concerning the physical characteristics of magnetic molecules.The discovery of new highly promising structures can help point chemists toward more easily synthesized analogical molecules with predictable characteristics.
