Single-crystal EPR spectroscopy of a Co(II) single-chain magnet

Abstract An electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) study of a single crystal of Co II -based single-chain magnets (SCM) is presented. Discrete resonant absorptions are associated to the presence of magnetic domains within the chains of finite lengths determined by a competition between intra-chain exchange interactions and thermally excited single spin fluctuations. The results are interpreted as a transition from single spin dynamics at high temperature ( T  ∼20 K), associated to the Kramers doublet ground state of the individual Co II ions, to archetypical SCM dynamics at low temperatures, where intra-chain correlations form long magnetic domains, whose average length is imposed by the con…

Quantum coherent spin-electric control in a molecular nanomagnet at clock transitions

Electrical control of spins at the nanoscale offers significant architectural advantages in spintronics, because electric fields can be confined over shorter length scales than magnetic fields1–5. Thus, recent demonstrations of electric-field sensitivities in molecular spin materials6–8 are tantalizing, raising the viability of the quantum analogues of macroscopic magneto-electric devices9–15. However, the electric-field sensitivities reported so far are rather weak, prompting the question of how to design molecules with stronger spin–electric couplings. Here we show that one path is to identify an energy scale in the spin spectrum that is associated with a structural degree of freedom with…

Accidentally on purpose: construction of a ferromagnetic, oxime-based [MnIII2] dimer

The serendipitous self-assembly of the complex [Mn(III)(2)Zn(II)(2)(Ph-sao)(2)(Ph-saoH)(4)(hmp)(2)] (1),whose magnetic core consists solely of two symmetry equivalent Mn(iii) ions linked by two symmetry equivalent -N-O- moieties, provides a relatively simple model complex with which to study the magneto-structural relationship in oxime-bridged Mn(III) cluster compounds. Dc magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal ferromagnetic (J = +2.2 cm(-1)) exchange resulting in an S = 4 ground state. Magnetisation measurements performed at low temperatures and high fields reveal the presence of significant anisotropy, with ac measurements confirming slow relaxation of the magnetisation and Single-Mo…
