Ab initio Hartree-Fock calculations of LaMnO3 (110) surfaces
2003
We present the results of ab initio Hartree-Fock calculations of the LaMnO3 (110) surface. Using seven-plane slabs, periodic in 2D and containing three formula units, we compare the properties of a stoichiometric surface with oxygen vacancies, and non-stoichiometric, defect-free surfaces, analyze the dispersion of the effective charges near the surface, and calculate the surface energy before and after relaxation, for both ferromagnetric and antiferromagnetic spin orderings in a slab. q 2003 Elsevier Ltd.

Neutron diffraction studies of the molecular compound [Co 2(bta)]n (H4bta =1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid): In the quest of canted ferromagnetism
2013
The exchange mechanism and magnetic structure of the organic-inorganic layered molecule-based magnet [Co2(bta)]n (1) (H 4bta =1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid) have been investigated through variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements and supported with a series of neutron diffraction experiments. Cryomagnetic studies have shown an antiferromagnetic ordering at a transition temperature of 16 K that is followed by the appearance of a weak ferromagnetism below 11 K. The weak antiferromagnetic interlayer interaction plays an important role in this system in spite of the long interlayer separation. A ferromagnetic ordering is induced by applied magnetic fields greater than 1800…
Structure and Properties of GdAuSn and the GdAuSn/MnAuSn System
2006
The crystal structure of GdAuSn was refined by means of single crystal X-ray diffraction. Band structure calculations based on the structural data confirmed the antiferromagnetic ground state and the metallic behaviour of GdAuSn. 119mSn, 155Gd and 197Au Mossbauer spectroscopic studies were used to verify the values of the hyperfine parameters that were given by the band structure calculations. Band structure calculations of MnAuSn confirmed that this half-Heusler compound belongs to the family of half-metallic ferromagnets. Magnetic susceptibility, conductivity and Mossbauer studies were used to characterize granular material based on the half-Heusler ferromagnet MnAuSn in the antiferromagn…

2013
The bis(mu-phenoxo) (FeNiIII)-Ni-II compound [Fe-III(N-3)(2)LNiII(H2O)(CH3CN)](ClO4) (1) and the bis(mu-phenoxo)-mu-acetate/bis(mu-phenoxo)-bis(mu-acetate) (FeNiII)-Ni-III compound {[Fe-III(OAc)LNiII(H2O)(mu-OAc)](0.6)center dot[(FeLNiII)-L-III(mu-OAc)(2)](0.4)}(ClO4)center dot 1.1H(2)O (2) have been synthesized from the Robson type tetraiminodiphenol macrocyclic ligand H2L, which is the [2 + 2] condensation product of 4-methyl-2,6-diformylphenol and 2,2'-dimethy1-1,3-diaminopropane. Single-crystal X-ray structures of both compounds have been determined. The cationic part of the dinuclear compound 2 is a cocrystal of the two species [Fe-III(OAc)LNiII(H2O)(mu-OAc)](+) (2A) and [(FeLNiII)-L-I…
Coordination polymers based on bridging cyanocarbanions and bis-tridentate p-phenylenediamine ligands
2017
Two new Cu(II) coordination polymeric neutral chains of formula [Cu 2 (1,4-tpbd)(μ-A) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ](A) 2 with A = tcnoet − ( 1 ) and tcnopr − ( 2 ) (1,4-tpbd = N,N,N′N′ -tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)benzene-1,4-diamine, tcnoet − = 1,1,3,3-tetracyano-2-ethoxypropenide and tcnopr − = 1,1,3,3-tetracyano-2-propoxypropenide) have been synthesized and characterized by infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements. 1 and 2 show alternating chains where the 1,4-tpbd and the cyanocarbanion units (tcnoet − for 1 and tcnopr − for 2 ) alternate as bridging ligands. The molecular structure can be viewed as [Cu 2 (μ-tpbd)] 4+ dinuclear units (with Cu⋯Cu distances of 8.2233(3) for 1 …
A Copper(II)-Cytidine Complex as a Building Unit for the Construction of an Unusual Three-Dimensional Coordination Polymer
2010
The chiral [Cu(cyd) 4 ] 6- anion acts as a multiarmed complex-ligand toward auxiliary copper(II) centers leading to the first example of cytidinate-bridged three-dimensional (3D) coordination polymer of formula [Cu 6 (H 2 O) 7 (ClO 4 ) 3 Cu(cyd) 4 ]-(ClO 4 ) 3 (1). Single crystal X-ray analysis of 1 shows a unique 3D covalent network supported by the exclusive hypercoordination of the cytidinate ligand that bridges four crystallographically independent copper(II) ions via the N3, O2, O2', O3', and O5' set of atoms. Magnetic susceptibility measurements in the temperature range 1.9-295 K reveal the coexistence of ferro- and antiferromagnetic interactions within the hexacopper(II) core of 1, t…
A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study on the Magnetic Properties of a Family of Bis(μ‐phenoxido)dicopper(II) Complexes Bearing ω‐[Bis(2‐hydro…
2009
Five new neutral bis(μ-phenoxido)dicopper(II) complexes, [Cu2(μ-HL1)2]·3EtOH·H2O (1), [Cu2(μ-HL2)2]·1.65H2O (2), [Cu2(μ-HL3)2(μ-H2O)] (3), [Cu2(μ-HL4)2] (4) and [Cu2(μ-HL5)2(μ-H2O)] (5), were prepared from a family of ω-[bis(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylbenzyl)amino]alkan-1-ol ligands (H3L1–H3L5 derived from 2-aminoethanol, 3-aminopropanol, 4-aminobutanol, 5-aminopentanol and 6-aminohexanol, respectively) bearing a [O,N,O,O′] donor set. In complexes 3 and 5, there is also a bridging water molecule between the metallic centres. The copper(II) coordination planes of all these complexes form a roof-like structure (the bridging O atoms are located at the top of the roof). The structural differences fo…
Syntheses and Structural Study of Novel Tetranuclear Bis(phenoxido)‐Bridged Cu II Metal–Organic Macrocycles
2012
Six new tetranuclear copper(II) complexes were prepared exploiting novel ditopic alkylenediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraphenolate ligands. The geometrical parameters of the compounds can be varied by introducing different solvents of crystallization into the lattice. The structures of all six complexes were determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses and the magnetic properties of the complexes were estimated by computational DFT calculations. The relationship between the magnetic exchange coupling constant (J) and the Cu–O–Cu angle (θ) in these bis(phenoxido)-bridged complexes was investigated and a magnetostructural correlation was established between J and the θ angle. All studied …
Lateral indirect exchange coupling in a two-dimensional nanostripe array
2002
We observe a lateral indirect exchange coupling in a multistripe system of parallel Fe nanostripes grown by self-organized growth on a vicinal single-crystal W(110) surface. The width and the distance between the stripes of monolayer height were modified via the total amount of deposited Fe. The easy axis of the magnetization lies perpendicular to the stripe edges and in the surface plane, thus resulting in a ferromagnetic dipolar coupling. In addition to the dipolar coupling we observe an antiferromagnetic indirect exchange coupling for the nanostripe system covered by Au. The coupling causes a superferromagnetic phase transition in the nanostripe array.
Thermal gating of magnon exchange in magnetic multilayers with antiferromagnetic spacers
2020
We observe a strong thermally-controlled magnon-mediated interlayer coupling of two ferromagnetic layers via an antiferromagnetic spacer in spin-valve type trilayers. The effect manifests itself as a field-induced coherent switching of the two ferromagnets, which can be controlled by varying temperature and the spacer thickness. We explain the observed behavior as due to a strong hybridization of the ferro- and antiferro-magnetic magnon modes in the trilayer at temperatures just below the N\'eel temperature of the antiferromagnetic spacer.
