Magnetic properties of C60 polymers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Magnetic properties of various C60 polymers are calculated using tight-binding molecular-dynamics and ab initio methods. Our results suggest a mechanism involving an interplay between structural defects and sp(3) hybridization to be responsible for the origin of this magnetism. The onset of magnetism is found to occur much more readily for the Rh-C60 polymeric phase with defects than for any of the other polymers, in agreement with the recent experiment. Our estimate of the magnetic moment is also in very good agreement with the value observed in experiment.

Fullerenium Salts: New C60 Cation Based Materials
Introduction The large variety of compounds referred to as fullerides are intensively investigated due to their exciting electronic and transport properties, such as high-Tc superconductivity, molecular magnetism, and ionic conductivity[1-4]. These C60 charge-transfer salts invariably contain C60 in its anionic form. In fact, the observation of six reversible reduction states[5] confirms that C...
متن کاملMixed Interfullerene Bonding Motifs in C60 based polymers
An unexpected discovery in fullerene chemistry has been the ease with which C60 units can covalently bond together to give rise to polymerized fullerene networks with a variety of structural architectures. Such fullerene-bridged arrays display varying dimensionality and interesting electronic (metallic behavior) and magnetic (ferromagnetism above room temperature) properties. The predominant C-...
متن کاملDoping and the unique role of vacancies in promoting the magnetic ground state in carbon nanotubes and C60 polymers
The role of various types of defects in establishing the magnetic properties of the C60-based polymers and the single-wall carbon nanotubes is investigated. Comparing the role of carbon vacancies, and that of substitutional impurity atoms X X=N, B, O, Si, P, and S in establishing a magnetic ground state it is found that the impurity X atoms promote the spin density delocalization, whereas its l...
متن کاملConvenient syntheses of fullerynes for ‘clicking’ into fullerene polymers
Alkyne-functionalized fullerenes (fullerynes) were designed and conveniently synthesized via Bingel reaction in one step with high yields. They were used to react with azido-functionalized polystyrene (PS) via Huisgen [3 + 2] cycloaddition 'click' chemistry to form two fullerene polymers: one with C60 tethered to the end of a PS chain (C60-1PS) and the other with C60 tethered at the junction po...
متن کاملA short review on Ferrofluids surface modification by natural and biocompatible polymers
This paper provides an overview of how the surface properties of ferromagnetic nanoparticles dispersed in fluids is modified by natural and biocompatible polymers. Among common magnetic nanoparticles, magnetite (Fe3O4) and maghemite (g-Fe203) are popular candidates because of their biocompatibility. Natural polymeric coating materials are the most commonly used biocompatible magnetic nanopartic...
