An endohedral single-molecule magnet with long relaxation times: DySc2N@C80.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The magnetism of DySc(2)N@C(80) endofullerene was studied with X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) and a magnetometer with a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) down to temperatures of 2 K and in fields up to 7 T. XMCD shows hysteresis of the 4f spin and orbital moment in Dy(III) ions. SQUID magnetometry indicates hysteresis below 6 K, while thermal and nonthermal relaxation is observed. Dilution of DySc(2)N@C(80) samples with C(60) increases the zero-field 4f electron relaxation time at 2 K to several hours.

The theoretical account of the ligand field bonding regime and magnetic anisotropy in the DySc2N@C80 Single Ion Magnet endohedral fullerene.
Considering the DySc2N@C80 system as a prototype for Single Ion Magnets (SIMs) based on endohedral fullerenes, we present methodological advances and state-of-the art computations analysing the electronic structure and its relationship with the magnetic properties due to the Dy(III) ion. The results of the quantum chemical calculations are quantitatively decrypted in the framework of ligand fie...
متن کاملSingle molecule magnet with an unpaired electron trapped between two lanthanide ions inside a fullerene
Increasing the temperature at which molecules behave as single-molecule magnets is a serious challenge in molecular magnetism. One of the ways to address this problem is to create the molecules with strongly coupled lanthanide ions. In this work, endohedral metallofullerenes Y2@C80 and Dy2@C80 are obtained in the form of air-stable benzyl monoadducts. Both feature an unpaired electron trapped b...

متن کاملPlasmon-Enhanced Photoemission from a Single Y3N@C80 Fullerene†
Rare earth ions are the backbone of a wide range of optoelectronic applications, ranging from solid-state lasers and fiber amplifiers to silicon photonics. So far experiments on single rare-earth ions have been elusive because of the long excited state lifetimes and low absorption cross sections. Here we present the first single molecule photoemission study of an endohedral metallofullerene (Y3...
