Disordered and Frustrated Spin Systems
2007
A brief review on the effects of quenched disorder on magnetic ordering is given. This disorder can be due to dilution of a ferro- or antiferromagnetic crystal with nonmagnetic atoms, or due to noncrystallinity (amorphous magnetic systems). This disorder in the positions of the magnetic atoms leads to disorder in the exchange interactions between spins. If the disorder is sufficiently weak, the critical temperature of magnetic ordering is somewhat decreased, and the critical behavior may change, but the nature of ordering is maintained. However, if the disorder is sufficiently strong, magnetic long-range order may disappear altogether at a percolation threshold, or a new type of order may a…
Self-assembly, metal binding ability, and magnetic properties of dinickel(II) and dicobalt(II) triple mesocates
2012
Two metallacyclic complexes of general formula Na-8[(M2L3)-L-II]center dot xH(2)O [M = Ni (4) and Co (5) with x = 15 (4) and 17 (5)] have been self-assembled in aqueous solution from N,N'-1,3-phenylenebis(oxamic acid) (H4L) and M2+ ions in a ligand/metal molar ratio of 3 : 2 in the presence of NaOH acting as base. X-Ray structural analyses of 4 and 5 show triple-stranded, dinuclear anions of the meso-helicate-type (so-called mesocates) with C-3h molecular symmetry. The two octahedral metal-tris(oxamate) moieties of opposite chiralities (Delta, Lambda form) are connected by three m-phenylene spacers at intermetallic distances of 6.822(2) (4) and 6.868(2) angstrom (5) to give a metallacryptan…
Room temperature antiferromagnetic resonance and inverse spin-Hall voltage in canted antiferromagnets
2021
We study theoretically and experimentally the spin pumping signals induced by the resonance of canted antiferromagnets with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and demonstrate that they can generate easily observable inverse spin-Hall voltages. Using a bilayer of hematite/heavy metal as a model system, we measure at room temperature the antiferromagnetic resonance and an associated inverse spin-Hall voltage, as large as in collinear antiferromagnets. As expected for coherent spin pumping, we observe that the sign of the inverse spin-Hall voltage provides direct information about the mode handedness as deduced by comparing hematite, chromium oxide and the ferrimagnet yttrium-iron garnet. Our r…
Single-Molecule-Magnet Fe Fe and Antiferromagnetic Fe Coordination Clusters
2019
Supported by endogenous (part of the ligand, in-built) phenoxo bridges provided by the ligand 2,6-bis[{{(5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzyl)}{(2-(pyridylethyl)}amino}methyl]-4-methylphenol) (H3L), in its deprotonated form, exogenous (not part of the ligand, externally added or generated) oxo-/hydroxo- and acetato-bridged [FeII4FeIII2(O)2(O2CMe)4(L)2]·4Et2O (1) and [FeIII4(OH)2(O2CMe)3(L)2](ClO4)·3MeCN·2H2O (2) coordination clusters have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Complexes 1 and 2 have μ4-O and μ3-OH bridges, respectively. Magnetic studies on 1 reveal slow magnetic relaxation below 2 K. Both in-phase ( χ'M) and out-of-phase (χ″M) magnetic susceptibility were found to be frequency…
Magnetic behavior control in niccolite structural metal formate frameworks [NH2(CH3)2][Fe(III)M(II)(HCOO)6] (M = Fe, Mn, and Co) by varying the dival…
2010
By changing template cation but introducing trivalent iron ions in the known niccolite structural metal formate frameworks, three complexes formulated [NH(2)(CH(3))(2)][Fe(III)M(II)(HCOO)(6)] (M = Fe for 1, Mn for 2, and Co for 3) were synthesized and magnetically characterized. The variation in the compositions of the complexes leads to three different complexes: mixed-valent complex 1, heterometallic but with the same spin state complex 2, and heterometallic heterospin complex 3. The magnetic behaviors are closely related to the divalent metal ions used. Complex 1 exhibits negative magnetization assigned as Neel N-Type ferrimagnet, with an asymmetric magnetization reversal in the hysteres…
Atomic, electronic and thermodynamic properties of cubic and orthorhombic LaMnO3 surfaces
2009
We studied in detail the atomic and electronic structure of the LaMnO3 surfaces, in both cubic and orthorhombic phases, combining GGA-plane wave approach, as implemented into the VASP-4.6.19 computer code, with a slab model. These studies are complemented by a thermodynamic analysis of the surface stability at different gas pressures and temperatures. The obtained results are compared with similar studies for other ABO3-perovskites. 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. The ABO3-type perovskite manganites and cobaltates (A = La, Sr, Ca; B = Mn, Co) are important functional materials with numerous high-tech applications [1]. Some of them require understanding and control surface properties…
Modulation of Nuclearity in Cu II −Mn II Complexes of a N 2 O 2 Donor Ligand Depending upon Carboxylate Anions: Structures, Magnetic Properties and C…
2020
Three new hetero-metallic copper(II)-manganese(II) complexes, [(CuL)2 Mn3 (C6 H5 CO2 )6 ] (1), [(CuL)2 Mn(CH3 CO2 )2 ] (2), and {[(CuL)2 Mn(C6 H5 CH2 CO2 )2 ] ⋅ 2CH3 CN} (3), have been synthesized using [CuL] as ''metalloligand'' (where H2 L=N,N'-bis(2-hydroxynaphthyl-methylidene)-1,3-propanediamine). Single-crystal structural analyses show an almost linear penta-nuclear structure for complex 1 where a square planar [CuL] unit is connected to each of the two terminal MnII ions of a linear, centrosymmetric [Mn3 (benzoate)6 ] unit through the double phenoxido bridges. Both complexes 2 and 3 possess a linear tri-nuclear structure where two terminal square-pyramidal [CuL] units are bonded to th…
Small clusters with anisotropic antiferromagnetic exchange in a magnetic field
2004
We consider small symmetric clusters of magnetic atoms (spins) with anisotropic exchange interaction between the atoms in a magnetic field at zero temperature. The inclusion of the anisotropy leads to a wealth of different phases as a function of the applied magnetic field. These are not phases in the thermodynamic sense with critical properties but rather physical structures with different arrangements of the spins and hence different symmetries. We study the spatial symmetry of these phases, for the classical and quantum cases. Results are presented mainly for three frustrated systems, the triangle, the tetrahedron and the five-atom ring, which have many interesting features. In the class…
Dicopper(II) metallacyclophanes with photoswitchable oligoacene spacers: a joint experimental and computational study on molecular magnetic photoswit…
2018
Dinuclear copper(II) complexes of the metallacyclophane-type, (nBu4N)4[Cu2(2,6-anba)2] (1) and (nBu4N)4[Cu2(1,5-naba)2]·4H2O (2) with photoactive 2,6-anthracene-(2,6-anba) and 1,5-naphthalenebis(oxamate) (1,5-naba) bridging ligands, are reported. They undergo a thermally reversible, solid-state photomagnetic (ON/OFF) switching between the moderately strong antiferromagnetically coupled dicopper(II) species and the corresponding magnetically uncoupled [4+4] photocycloaddition product. Density functional calculations give further insights on the intramolecular (“pseudo-bimolecular”) photocycloaddition reaction of the two facing 2,6-anthracene or 1,5-naphthalene spacers in this novel family of…
Electric field control of the spin state in mixed-valence magnetic molecules.
2012
Multiferroic molecules for spintronics: In a many-electron mixed-valence dimer with dominant double exchange, as compared with antiferromagnetic superexchange, the electric field is shown to induce a spin crossover from the ferromagnetic spin state to the antiferromagnetic one. This leads to a sharp decrease in the magnetic moment of the molecule and a simultaneous stepwise increase in the electric dipole (see figure).
