Iron Spin-Crossover compounds: from fundamental studies to practical applications

Patrick Gamez, José Sánchez Costa, Manuel Quesada and Guillem Aromí

Over the past five years, the spin-crossover (SCO) phenomenon has experienced a clear new lease of interest from the scientific community coinciding with the recent publication of remarkable new advances.
