Brief encounter at the molecular level: what muons tell us about molecule-based magnets
2005
Abstract Spin-polarized muons can be implanted in various molecular magnetic materials in order to measure static and dynamic magnetic field distributions at a local level. The positively-charged muon is an unstable, radioactive particle which has spin–1/2, a lifetime of 2.2 μ S , about one-ninth of the proton mass and a magnetic moment of approximately 1/200 μ B . Both pulsed and continuous beams of muons can be produced with almost 100% spin polarization and significant intensity at various accelerator facilities. The subsequent decay of the muon into a positron allows the extraction of the muon-spin autocorrelation function which can be related to the magnetic field distribution inside a…
A two-dimensional radical salt based upon BEDT-TTF and the dimeric, magnetic anion [Fe(tdas)2]22−: (BEDT-TTF)2[Fe(tdas)2] (tdas = 1,2,5-thiadiazole-3…

In an attempt to synthesize new synthetic metals which couple magnetic properties to conductivity, we prepared the novel salt (BEDT-TTF)2[Fe(tdas)2] [BEDT-TTF = bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene, hereafter referred to as ET; tdas = 1,2,5-thiadiazole-3,4-dithiolate] by the electrocrystallization technique. The crystal structure of this compound, as determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction, contains conducting, organic ET layers separated by dimerized, magnetic [Fe(tdas)2]22− anions. Due to the magnetic insulating ground electronic state of the ET layer, thermally activated conductivity is observed, with a room temperature value of about 1 S cm−1. This salt was also characterized by…
