Simultaneous manifestation of metallic conductivity and single-molecule magnetism in a layered molecule-based compound.

ABSTRACT: Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) show superparamagnetic behaviour below blocking temperature at the molecular scale, so they exhibit large magnetic density compared to the conventional magnets. Combining SMMs and molecular conductors in one compound will bring about new physical phenomena, however, the synergetic effects between them still remain unexplored. Here we present a layered molecule-based compound, β''-(BEDO-TTF)₄ [Co(pdms)₂]·3H₂O (BO4), (BEDO-TTF (BO) and H₂pdms are bis(ethylenedioxy)tetrathiafulvalene and 1,2-bis(methanesulfonamido)benzene, respectively), which was synthesized by using an electrochemical approach and studied by using crystal X-ray diffraction. This compound simultaneously exhibited metallic conductivity and SMM behaviour up to 11 K for the first time. The highest electrical conductivity was 400-650 S cm^-1 at 6.5 K, which is the highest among those reported so far for conducting SMM materials. Furthermore, antiferromagnetic ordering occurred below 6.5 K, along with a decrease in conductivity, and the angle-independent negative magnetoresistance suggested an effective electron correlation between the conducting BO and Co(pdms)₂ SMM layers (d-π interactions). The strong magnetic anisotropy and two-dimensional conducting plane play key roles in the low-temperature antiferromagnetic semiconducting state. BO4 is the first compound exhibiting antiferromagnetic ordering among SMMs mediated by π-electrons, demonstrating the synergetic effects between SMMs and molecular conductors.

Electrical detection and modulation of magnetism in a Dy-based ferroelectric single-molecule magnet.

Project description:Electrical control of magnetism in single-molecule magnets with peculiar quantum magnetic behaviours has promise for applications in molecular electronics and quantum computing. Nevertheless, such kind of magnetoelectric effects have not been achieved in such materials. Herein, we report the successful realization of significant magnetoelectric effects by introducing ferroelectricity into a dysprosium-based single-molecule magnet through spatial cooperation between flexible organic ligands and halide ions. The stair-shaped magnetization hysteresis loop, alternating current susceptibility, and magnetic relaxation can be directly modulated by applying a moderate electric field. Conversely, the electric polarization can be modulated by applying a small magnetic field. In addition, a resonant magnetodielectric effect is clearly observed, which enables detection of quantum tunnelling of magnetization by a simple electrical measurement. The integration of ferroelectricity into single-molecule magnets not only broadens the family of single-molecule magnets but also makes electrical detection and modulation of the quantum tunnelling of magnetization a reality.

Conductivity of an atomically defined metallic interface.

Project description:A mechanically formed electrical nanocontact between gold and tungsten is a prototypical junction between metals with dissimilar electronic structure. Through atomically characterized nanoindentation experiments and first-principles quantum transport calculations, we find that the ballistic conduction across this intermetallic interface is drastically reduced because of the fundamental mismatch between s wave-like modes of electron conduction in the gold and d wave-like modes in the tungsten. The mechanical formation of the junction introduces defects and disorder, which act as an additional source of conduction losses and increase junction resistance by up to an order of magnitude. These findings apply to nanoelectronics and semiconductor device design. The technique that we use is very broadly applicable to molecular electronics, nanoscale contact mechanics, and scanning tunneling microscopy.

Exchange coupling and single molecule magnetism in redox-active tetraoxolene-bridged dilanthanide complexes.

Project description:Tetraoxolene radical-bridged lanthanide SMM systems were prepared for the first time by reduction of the respective neutral compounds. Magnetic measurements reveal the profound influence of the radical center on magnetic behavior. Strong magnetic couplings are revealed in the radical species, which switch on SMM behavior under zero applied field for DyIII and TbIII compounds. HFEPR spectra unravel the contributions of the magnetic coupling and the magnetic anisotropy. For GdIII this results in much more accurate magnetic coupling parameters with respect to bulk magnetic measurements.

Orbital ordering and magnetism in layered Perovskite Ruthenate Sr2RuO4.

Project description:Local density approximation plus on-site Coulomb interaction U electronic structure calculations reveal that layered perovskite oxide Sr2RuO4 exhibits the ferromagnetic (FM) half-metallic ground state, which is nearly degenerate with the antiferromagnetic (AFM) phase with a slightly higher total energy. The nearly degenerate FM/AFM total energies provide a reasonable explanation for the experimentally observed spin-fluctuation. In addition, a dumbbell-shape 4d - t2g recombined dxz?-?dyz orbital ordering on the Ru sublattice is obtained owing to the on-site Coulomb interaction U associated with the elongated RuO6 octahedron local structure. The discovered orbital ordering is robust against the spin-orbit interaction as well as the surface terminations. Our findings unravel the on-site Coulomb correlation as the driving force of the Ru-4d orbital ordering as well as the inherent magnetic degeneracy.

Simultaneous, coincident optical trapping and single-molecule fluorescence.

Project description:We constructed a microscope-based instrument capable of simultaneous, spatially coincident optical trapping and single-molecule fluorescence. The capabilities of this apparatus were demonstrated by studying the force-induced strand separation of a dye-labeled, 15-base-pair region of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), with force applied either parallel ('unzipping' mode) or perpendicular ('shearing' mode) to the long axis of the region. Mechanical transitions corresponding to DNA hybrid rupture occurred simultaneously with discontinuous changes in the fluorescence emission. The rupture force was strongly dependent on the direction of applied force, indicating the existence of distinct unbinding pathways for the two force-loading modes. From the rupture force histograms, we determined the distance to the thermodynamic transition state and the thermal off rates in the absence of load for both processes.

Strong carbon cage influence on the single molecule magnetism in Dy-Sc nitride clusterfullerenes.

Project description:Magnetic properties of endohedral metallofullerenes with nitride clusters DySc2N and Dy2ScN and different carbon cages are studied by SQUID magnetometry. All molecules behave as single molecule magnets (SMMs) and exhibit magnetic hysteresis. It is found that the blocking temperature of magnetization and relaxation times strongly depend on the fullerene cage, with the C80-Ih isomer offering the best SMM properties.

Robust Metallic Nanolaminates Having Phonon-Glass Thermal Conductivity.

Project description:Heat transfer phenomena in multilayer structures have gained interest due to their promising use in thermal insulation and thermoelectricity applications. In such systems, nanostructuring has been used to introduce moderate interfacial density, and it has been demonstrated that interfacial thermal resistance plays a crucial role in reducing thermal conductivity κ. Nevertheless, the main constraint for actual applications is related to their tiny size because they are extremely thin to establish appreciable temperature gradients. In this work, by severe plastic deformation process of accumulative roll bonding (ARB), a 250 µm thick Cu-Nb multilayer containing more than 8000 interfaces with periods below 40 nm was obtained, enabling the production of bulk metallic nanolaminates with ultralow κ. Multilayers present an ultralow κ of ∼0.81 W/mK at 300 K, which is 100 times smaller than its Cu-Nb bulk counterpart, and even lower than the amorphous lattice limit for the Cu-Nb thin film system. By using electron diffusive mismatch model (EDMM), we argue that both electrons diffusively scattering at interface and those ballistically crossing the constituents are responsible for heat conduction in the Cu-Nb multilayers at nanoscale. Hence, ARB Cu-Nb multilayers are intriguing candidate materials which can prove avenues to achieve stable ultralow κ thermal barriers for robust applications.

Different metal materials attached to the copper foam substrate can change the valence states of copper and oxygen, resulting in the change of electronic structure of the materials, thus changing its catalytic activity.

Assessing crosstalk in simultaneous multicolor single-molecule localization microscopy.

Project description:Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) can reach sub-50 nm resolution using techniques such as stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) or DNA-point accumulation for imaging in nanoscale topography (PAINT). Here we implement two approaches for faster multicolor SMLM by splitting the emitted fluorescence toward two cameras: simultaneous two-color DNA-PAINT (S2C-DNA-PAINT) that images spectrally separated red and far-red imager strands on each camera, and spectral demixing dSTORM (SD-dSTORM) where spectrally close far-red fluorophores appear on both cameras before being identified by demixing. Using S2C-DNA-PAINT as a reference for low crosstalk, we evaluate SD-dSTORM crosstalk using three types of samples: DNA origami nanorulers of different sizes, single-target labeled cells, or cells labeled for multiple targets. We then assess if crosstalk can affect the detection of biologically relevant subdiffraction patterns. Extending these approaches to three-dimensional acquisition and SD-dSTORM to three-color imaging, we show that spectral demixing is an attractive option for robust and versatile multicolor SMLM investigations.

Enhanced proton conductivity in a layered coordination polymer.

Project description:[Gd(H4nmp)(H2O)2]Cl·2H2O (1) converts into [Gd2(H3nmp)2]·xH2O (2) (x = 1 to 4) with a notable increase in proton conductivity. 1 is a charged layered material counter balanced by chloride ions, with proton conductivity values of 1.23 × 10-5 S cm-1 at 98% relative humidity (RH) and 40 °C. At 98% RH and 94 °C the observed conductivity is 0.51 S cm-1, being to date one of the highest values ever reported for a proton-conducting coordination polymer. This increase is observed during a structural transformation into 2 that occurs at high temperature and RH. While this remarkable conductivity is observed only after transformation and by maintaining high humidity conditions, as-synthesized 2 also shows a conductivity value of 3.79 × 10-2 S cm-1 at 94 °C and 98% RH, still ranked as one of the highest reported values. Moreover, it is shown that the key factor for high proton conduction is the unusual dynamic structural transformation with water insertion and release of chloride ions.
