Tuning of the photoinduced charge transfer process in donor-acceptor "double cable" copolymers
2003
The covalent linking of acceptor molecules to electron donating conjugated polymer is an approach for the development of new photoactive materials for the fabrication of organic photoelectric conversion devices. With this strategy we have designed a polyalkylthiophene copolymer series containing in the side chain anthraquinone molecules as electron acceptor. The peculiar features of the copolymers are the good processability and the ease in tailoring the content of acceptor moieties. Their potential use as photoactive materials is investigated in terms of the photoinduced charge transfer properties, studied by FTIR photoinduced absorption and Light Induced Electron Spin Resonance spectrosco…
Transition of laser-induced terahertz spin currents from torque- to conduction-electron-mediated transport
2022
Spin transport is crucial for future spintronic devices operating at bandwidths up to the terahertz range. In F|N thin-film stacks made of a ferromagnetic/ferrimagnetic layer F and a normal-metal layer N, spin transport is mediated by (1) spin-polarized conduction electrons and/or (2) torque between electron spins. To identify a crossover from (1) to (2), we study laser-driven spin currents in F|Pt stacks where F consists of model materials with different degrees of electrical conductivity. For the magnetic insulators yttrium iron garnet, gadolinium iron garnet (GIG) and γ−Fe2O3, identical dynamics is observed. It arises from the terahertz interfacial spin Seebeck effect (SSE), is fully det…
Different Look at the Spin State ofCo3+Ions in aCoO5Pyramidal Coordination
2004
Using soft-x-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Co ${L}_{2,3}$ and O $K$ edges, we demonstrate that the ${\mathrm{Co}}^{3+}$ ions with the ${\mathrm{CoO}}_{5}$ pyramidal coordination in the layered ${\mathrm{Sr}}_{2}{\mathrm{CoO}}_{3}\mathrm{Cl}$ compound are unambiguously in the high spin state. Our result questions the reliability of the spin state assignments made so far for the recently synthesized layered cobalt perovskites and calls for a reexamination of the modeling for the complex and fascinating properties of these new materials.
Competition of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya and Higher-Order Exchange Interactions in Rh/Fe Atomic Bilayers on Ir(111)
2018
Using spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory we demonstrate the occurrence of a novel type of noncollinear spin structure in $\mathrm{Rh}/\mathrm{Fe}$ atomic bilayers on Ir(111). We find that higher-order exchange interactions depend sensitively on the stacking sequence. For fcc-$\mathrm{Rh}/\mathrm{Fe}/\mathrm{Ir}(111)$, frustrated exchange interactions are dominant and lead to the formation of a spin spiral ground state with a period of about 1.5 nm. For hcp-$\mathrm{Rh}/\mathrm{Fe}/\mathrm{Ir}(111)$, higher-order exchange interactions favor an up-up-down-down ($\ensuremath{\uparrow}\ensuremath{\uparrow}\ensuremath{\downarrow}\ensuremath{\downarrow}$) s…
High-spin states in tetrahedral X4 clusters (X = H, Li, Na, K)
2010
The high-spin electronic states for lithium, sodium, and potassium four-atom clusters were studied. In particular, we performed coupled cluster geometry optimization of the quintet state in tetrahedral geometry. The quintet state of these systems is characterized by having all the valence electron Unpaired, giving rise to the so-called no-pair bonding. Single-point full configuration interaction computations on the equilibrium geometries for the various Clusters are also presented. The analysis of the valence orbitals in a localized representation confirms the importance of the p atomic orbitals to explain this unusual type of bond. (C) 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Pyridazine-Supported Polymeric Cyanometallates with Spin Transitions
2019
Heterometallic cyano-bridged spin-crossover complexes form a large family of switchable compounds with different structural motives and diverse transition characteristics. Here we report on the hysteretic water-dependent spin transitions found in the family of [Fe(pyridazine)2M(CN)4] frameworks (M = Ni, Pd, Pt). The structure of three new spin-crossover compounds is built of cyanometallic layers supported by pyridazine ligands. The frameworks contain water guest molecules that can be removed upon heating. Spin transition was found in both hydrated and dehydrated compounds, while the removal of water stimulated a complete spin state switch. Mössbauer spectroscopy revealed two different …
One-dimensional iron(III) and two-dimensional iron(III)nickel(II) cyanide-bridged ferromagnetic arrays from hexacyanoferrate(III) and [Ni(cyclam)]2+ …
1999
Abstract The X-ray structures and magnetic properties of a iron(III) linear chain and a honeycomb-like layered iron(III)-nickel(II) cyanide-bridged compound are reported. The former contains alternating iron sites and unexpected ferromagnetic behaviour, justified on the basis of the axial distortion from regular octahedral geometry of one of the iron ions. The latter is metamagnetic with ferromagnetic intralayers and antiferromagnetic interlayers interactions with a Neel temperature, TN= 7.7 K. The field-induced transition from an antiferro- to a ferromagnetic state takes place at Hc= 5000 G. The antiferromagnetic ordered phase exhibits spin-canting and long range ferromagnetic ordering at …
The effect of low pressure on a high-spin—low-spin transition
1983
Abstract The effect of low pressure ( p = 150 bar) on the high-spin (HS)—low-spin (LS) transition in [Fe x Zn 1− x (2-pic) 3 ]Cl 2 · EtOH ( x = 0.5, 1.0) was measured by Mossbauer spectroscopy and the results compared with theory. The linear dependence of the volume of the lattice on the HS fraction, which is the basic assumption of the theory, was proven by temperature dependent X-ray measurements.
