Desolvation-Driven 100-Fold Slow-down of Tunneling Relaxation Rate in Co(II)-Dy(III) Single-Molecule Magnets through a Single-Crystal-to-Single-Crystal Process
Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) are regarded as a class of promising materials for spintronic and ultrahigh-density storage devices. Tuning the magnetic dynamics of single-molecule magnets is a crucial challenge for chemists. Lanthanide ions are not only highly magnetically anisotropic but also highly sensitive to the changes in the coordination environments. We developed a feasible approach to ...
متن کاملMagnetic long-range order induced by quantum relaxation in single-molecule magnets.
Can magnetic interactions between single-molecule magnets (SMMs) in a crystal establish long-range magnetic order at low temperatures deep in the quantum regime, where the only electron spin fluctuations are due to incoherent magnetic quantum tunneling (MQT)? Put inversely: can MQT provide the temperature dependent fluctuations needed to destroy the ordered state above some finite T(c), althoug...

It is shown that our multi-high-frequency (402200 GHz) resonant cavity technique yields distortion-free high-field electron paramagnetic resonance ~EPR! spectra for single-crystal samples of the uniaxial and biaxial spin S510 single-molecule magnets ~SMM’s! @Mn12O12(CH3COO)16(H2O)4#•2CH3COOH•4H2O and @Fe8O2(OH)12(tacn)6#Br8•9H2O. The observed line shapes exhibit a pronounced dependence on tempe...
متن کاملExploiting single-ion anisotropy in the design of f-element single-molecule magnets
Scientists have long employed lanthanide elements in the design of materials with extraordinary magnetic properties, including the strongest magnets known, SmCo5 and Nd2Fe14B. The properties of these materials are largely a product of fine-tuning the interaction between the lanthanide ion and the crystal lattice. Recently, synthetic chemists have begun to utilize f-elements—both lanthanides and...
متن کاملStrong spin-phonon coupling between a single-molecule magnet and a carbon nanotube nanoelectromechanical system.
Magnetic relaxation processes were first discussed for a crystal of paramagnetic transition ions. It was suggested that mechanical vibrations of the crystal lattice (phonons) modulate the crystal electric field of the magnetic ion, thus inducing a 'direct' relaxation between two different spin states. Direct relaxation has also been predicted for single-molecule magnets with a large spin and a ...
