Superatomic Magnetic Cluster Opens the Door to New Nanomaterials

Caption

The superatom cluster (Fe6S8(CN)6-5) with a large spin magnetic moment and enhanced stability. The stability is due to dual shell filling, with the spin up and spin down shells both filled but with a different number of electrons.
