The behavior of nanomagnets in molecular spintronic materials can be changed by using external stimuli such as photons. Although the use of photons offers a clean way to control spin states, undesired effects as heating processes makes the investigation of light-induced properties challenging. We demonstrate the use of static and dynamic susceptibility measurements under continuous light irradiation via a SQUID magnetometer to quantify heating effects and extract magnetic changes, where the used light-coupling setup enables a distinct control of the irradiation strength on a sample. The molecular nanomagnet Fe3CrPh serves as an example, of which a short lived light-induced spin forbidden transition from S=6 to S=7 has already been detected in Torque-detected ESR combined with Photon-excited Torque Magnetometry (PheToM) as a change of the magnetic response. In near future this technique is used to detect spin changes novel classes of molecular spintronic systems, where light-induced currents manipulates spintronic properties rather than light directly.
