Project description:Magnetic materials having competing, i.e., frustrated, interactions can display magnetism prolific in intricate structures, discrete jumps, plateaus, and exotic spin states with increasing applied magnetic fields. When the associated elastic energy cost is not too expensive, this high potential can be enhanced by the existence of an omnipresent magnetoelastic coupling. Here we report experimental and theoretical evidence of a nonnegligible magnetoelastic coupling in one of these fascinating materials, SrCu2(BO3)2 (SCBO). First, using pulsed-field transversal and longitudinal magnetostriction measurements we show that its physical dimensions, indeed, mimic closely its unusually rich field-induced magnetism. Second, using density functional-based calculations we find that the driving force behind the magnetoelastic coupling is the CuOCu superexchange angle that, due to the orthogonal Cu(2+) dimers acting as pantographs, can shrink significantly (0.44%) with minute (0.01%) variations in the lattice parameters. With this original approach we also find a reduction of ? 10% in the intradimer exchange integral J, enough to make predictions for the highly magnetized states and the effects of applied pressure on SCBO.

Project description:Inspired by the successful synthesis of Fe/Cu-5,5'-bis(4-pyridyl)(2,2'-bipirimidine) (PBP), a family of two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with the Shastry-Sutherland lattice, i.e., transition metal (TM)-PBP (TM = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) has been systematically investigated by means of first-principles density functional theory calculations and Monte Carlo simulations. Mn-PBP is discovered to be the first ferromagnetic 2D MOF with the Shastry-Sutherland lattice and the Curie temperature is predicted to be about 105 K, while Fe-PBP, TM-PBP (TM = Cr, Co, Ni) and TM-PBP (TM = Cu, Zn) are found to be stripe-order antiferromagnetic, magnetic-dimerized and nonmagnetic, respectively. The electronic structure calculations reveal that TM-PBP MOFs are semiconductors with band gaps ranging from 0.12 eV to 0.85 eV, which could be easily modulated by various methods. Particularly, Mn-PBP would exhibit half-metallic behavior under compressive strain or appropriate electron/hole doping and a Mn-PBP based spintronic device has been proposed. This study not only improves the understanding of the geometric, electronic and magnetic properties of the 2D TM-PBP MOF family, but also provides a novel spin lattice playground for the research of 2D magnetic systems, which has diverse modulating possibilities and rich potential applications.

Project description:Bis(5-methyl-2-[(2-nitrophenyl)amino]-3-thiophenecarbonitrilyl)acetylene, a derivative of the highly polymorphic compound 5-methyl-2-[(2-nitrophenyl)amino]-3-thiophenecarbonitrile (ROY) that possesses two chromophores electronically coupled through a triple bond, was found to be trimorphic. Structural data for two of these forms indicates that symmetry is maintained in one structure and broken in the other leading to spontaneous differentiation of the methyl-thiophenecarbonitrile units. This study contributes to the mounting evidence that ROY and its derivatives are particularly prone to polymorphism.
