Insertion of a single-molecule magnet inside a ferromagnetic lattice based on a 3D bimetallic oxalate network: Towards molecular analogues of permane…
2014
The insertion of the single-molecule magnet (SMM) [MnIII(salen) (H2O)]2 2+ (salen2-=N,N-ethylenebis- (salicylideneiminate)) into a ferromagnetic bimetallic oxalate network affords the hybrid compound [MnIII(salen)(H2O)] 2[MnIICrIII(ox)3] 2×(CH3OH)×(CH3CN)2 (1). This cationic Mn2 cluster templates the growth of crystals formed by an unusual achiral 3D oxalate network. The magnetic properties of this hybrid magnet are compared with those of the analogous compounds [Mn III(salen)(H2O)]2[ZnIICr III(ox)3]2×(CH3OH) ×(CH3CN)2 (2) and [InIII(sal 2-trien)][MnIICrIII(ox)3] ×(H2O)0.25×(CH3OH) 0.25×(CH3CN)0.25 (3), which are used as reference compounds. In 2 it has been shown that the magnetic isolatio…
Two hybrid organometallic-inorganic layered magnets from the series [ ZIIICp*2] [ MIIMIII(ox)3] studied with μ+SR
2004
We present zero-field muon spin relaxation (ZF-μ + SR) measurements on two examples of a new series of hybrid organometallic-inorganic layered magnets, namely ferromagnetic [FeCp* 2 ][MnCr(ox) 3 ] and ferrimagnetic [CoCp* 2 ][FeFe(ox) 3 ] (where ox = oxalate and Cp* = pentame- thyl-cyclopentadienyl). Both materials show multi-component muon spin precession signals characteristic of quasistatic magnetic fields at several distinct muon sites. The temperature dependence of the precession frequencies allow critical exponents to be extracted. Possible muon sites are discussed on the basis of dipole field calculations.
Mössbauer and magnetic studies of mixed-valence linear chain compounds: Na3Fe2S4 and Na3Fe2Se4
1986
Mossbauer and magnetic data establish the two compounds Na3Fe2X4(X=S, Se) as mixed-valence linear chain compounds with rapid valence fluctuation. The compounds exhibit 1-dimensional antiferromagnetic coupling within the chains, and below a critical temperature a 3-dimensional ferrimagnetic ordering between the chains.
Polarized neutron diffraction and Mössbauer spectral study of short-range magnetic correlations in the ferrimagnetic layered compounds(PPh4)[FeIIFeII…
2002
Short-range antiferromagnetic correlations have been studied in the layered compounds (PPh 4 ) [Fe I I Fe I I I (ox) 3 ] and (NBu 4 ) [Fe I I Fe I I I (ox) 3 ] by neutron polarization analysis and Mossbauer spectroscopy. Polarized neutron diffraction profiles obtained between 2 and 50 K on (d 2 0 -PPh 4 ) [Fe I I Fe I I I (ox) 3 ] show no magnetic Bragg scattering; the lack of such scattering indicates the absence of long-range magnetic order. However, a broad asymmetric feature observed at a Q of ca. 0.8 A - 1 is attributed to two-dimensional short-range magnetic correlations, which are described by a Warren function. The correlation length is ca. 50 A between 2 and 30 K and then decreases…
The Role of Order-Disorder Transitions in the Quest for Molecular Multiferroics: Structural and Magnetic Neutron Studies of a Mixed Valence Iron (II)…
2012
Neutron diffraction studies have been carried out to shed light on the unprecedented order-disorder phase transition (ca. 155 K) observed in the mixed-valence iron(II)-iron(III) formate framework compound [NH 2(CH3)2]n[FeIIIFe II(HCOO)6]n. The crystal structure at 220 K was first determined from Laue diffraction data, then a second refinement at 175 K and the crystal structure determination in the low temperature phase at 45 K were done with data from the monochromatic high resolution single crystal diffractometer D19. The 45 K nuclear structure reveals that the phase transition is associated with the order-disorder of the dimethylammonium counterion that is weakly anchored in the cavities …
Magnetic and structural phase transitions by annealing in tetragonal and cubic Mn3Ga thin films
2021
Abstract Thermal Annealing is a simple and powerful tool to improve the crystallinity in general or promote the functionality for peculiar purposes, ultimately leading to metastable states with lower energy. We report the annealing effect focusing primarily on the structural and magnetic properties of two different Mn3Ga thin films. One is the D022 tetragonal ferrimagnetic phase Mn3Ga, and the other is the disordered-L12 cubic antiferromagnetic phase Mn3Ga. They were grown by RF/DC magnetron sputtering method on MgO substrate. After deposition, the thin films were annealed at various temperatures (200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 °C) and Ar pressures (10−3, 10−1, and 103 Torr). We find that the …
Magnetotransport Properties of Thin Films of Magnetic Perovskites
2007
In this article we show magnetotransport of two prototypical (nearly) half metallic perowskites La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 and Sr2FeMoO6. In a half metal the spin polarisation at the Fermi energy is complete and tunneling magnetoresistive devices of high sensitivity can be realized with small external magnetic fields. In the vicinity of the metal-insulator phase transition (MIT) temperature of the manganite an external magnetic field can induce ’colossal’ magnetoresistive effects. In the simple perovskites La1-x Ca x MnO3 the charge transport above the MIT is of polaronic nature. Hall-effect measurements on the compound La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 below the MIT show a compensated Fermi-surface consisting of elect…
Disentangling the Mn moments on different sublattices in the half-metallic ferrimagnet Mn3−xCoxGa
2011
Ferrimagnetic Mn3−xCoxGa compounds have been investigated by magnetic circular dichroism in x-ray absorption (XMCD). Compounds with x>0.5 crystallize in the CuHg2Ti structure. A tetragonal distortion of the cubic structure occurs for x≤0.5. For the cubic phase, magnetometry reveals a linearly increasing magnetization of 2x Bohr magnetons per formula unit obeying the generalized Slater–Pauling rule. XMCD confirms the ferrimagnetic character with Mn atoms occupying two different sublattices with antiparallel spin orientation and different degrees of spin localization and identifies the region 0.6<x≤0.8 as most promising for a high spin polarization at the Fermi level. Individual Mn moments on…
Completely compensated ferrimagnetism and sublattice spin crossing in the half-metallic Heusler compoundMn1.5FeV0.5Al
2017
The Slater-Pauling rule states that $L{2}_{1}$ Heusler compounds with 24 valence electrons never exhibit a total spin magnetic moment. In the case of strongly localized magnetic moments at one of the atoms (here Mn) they will exhibit a fully compensated half-metallic ferrimagnetic state instead, in particular, when symmetry does not allow for antiferromagnetic order. With the aid of magnetic and anomalous Hall effect measurements, it is experimentally demonstrated that ${\mathrm{Mn}}_{1.5}{\mathrm{V}}_{0.5}\mathrm{FeAl}$ follows such a scenario. The ferrimagnetic state is tuned by the composition. A small residual magnetization, which arises due to a slight mismatch of the magnetic moments …
Pressure-induced electron transfer in ferrimagnetic Prussian blue analogs
2003
M\"ossbauer and magnetic susceptibility measurements were performed under pressure on three Prussian blue analogs, ${\mathrm{K}}_{0.1}{\mathrm{Co}}_{4}[{\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})}_{6}{]}_{2.7}\ensuremath{\cdot}18{\mathrm{H}}_{2}\mathrm{O},$ ${\mathrm{K}}_{0.28}{\mathrm{Co}}_{4}[{\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})}_{6}{]}_{2.76}\ensuremath{\cdot}18{\mathrm{H}}_{2}\mathrm{O},$ and ${\mathrm{Cs}}_{0.7}{\mathrm{Co}}_{4}[{\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})}_{6}{]}_{2.9}\ensuremath{\cdot}16{\mathrm{H}}_{2}\mathrm{O}.$ A pressure-induced electron transfer ${\mathrm{Co}}^{2+}(S=\frac{3}{2})\ensuremath{-}{\mathrm{Fe}}^{3+}(S=\frac{1}{2})\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\mathrm{Co}}^{3+}(S=0)\ensuremath{-}{\mathrm{Fe}}^{2+}(S=0)…
