Rational design and modelling of f-block molecular nanomagnets
2016
Los imanes monomoleculares o moléculas imán, por sus siglas en inglés SMMs, han suscitado una gran atención en los últimos años debido a sus extraordinarias propiedades físicas. Los cristales de este tipo de moléculas se caracterizan por presentar relajación lenta de la magnetización a baja temperatura, así como curvas de histeresis magnética. Estas moléculas se encuentran entre las entidades con comportamiento magnético más complejas, mostrando fenómenos cuánticos tales como efecto túnel en la magnetización, coherencia cuántica o interferencia cuántica. Por esto, se han postulado como candidatos prometedores para el diseño de bits cuánticos (qubits) de espín en computación cuántica. La pri…
NMR and $\mu^{+}$SR detection of unconventional spin dynamics in Er(trensal) and Dy(trensal) molecular magnets
2019
Measurements of proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H1NMR) spectra and relaxation and of muon spin relaxation (μ+SR) have been performed as a function of temperature and external magnetic field on two isostructural lanthanide complexes, Er(trensal) and Dy(trensal) [where H3trensal=2,2′,2′′-tris-(salicylideneimino)triethylamine], featuring crystallographically imposed trigonal symmetry. Both the nuclear 1/T1 and muon λ longitudinal relaxation rates (LRRs) exhibit a peak for temperatures T < 30 K, associated to the slowing down of the spin dynamics, and the width of the NMR absorption spectra starts to increase significantly at T ∼50 K, a temperature sizably higher than the one of the LRR p…
Asymmetric hysteresis for probing Dzyalohsinskii-Moriya interaction
2016
The interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) is intimately related to the prospect of superior domain-wall dynamics and the formation of magnetic skyrmions. Although some experimental efforts have been recently proposed to quantify these interactions and the underlying physics, it is still far from trivial to address the interfacial DMI. Inspired by the reported tilt of the magnetization of the side edge of a thin film structure, we here present a quasi-static, straightforward measurement tool. By using laterally asymmetric triangular-shaped microstructures, it is demonstrated that interfacial DMI combined with an in-plane magnetic field yields a unique and significant shift in m…
