Bonding, backbonding, and spin-polarized molecular orbitals: basis for magnetism and semiconducting transport in V[TCNE]x approximately 2

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) at the V L{2,3} and C and N K edges reveal bonding and backbonding interactions in films of the 400 K magnetic semiconductor V[TCNE]x approximately 2. In V spectra, d{xy}-like orbitals are modeled assuming V2+ in an octahedral ligand field, while d{z{2}} and d{x{2}-y{2}} orbitals involved in strong covalent sigma bonding cannot be modeled by atomic calculations. C and N MCD, and differences in XAS from neutral TCNE molecules, reveal spin-polarized molecular orbitals in V[TCNE]x approximately 2 associated with weaker pi bonding interactions that yield its novel properties.     

Multiple photonic responses in films of organic-based magnetic semiconductor V(TCNE)x, x approximately 2

Concomitant photoinduced magnetic and electrical phenomena are reported for the organic-based magnetic semiconductor V(TCNE)x (x approximately 2; TCNE=tetracyanoethylene; magnetic ordering temperature Tc approximately 400 K). Upon optical excitation (457.9 nm), the system can be trapped in a thermally reversible photoexcited state, which exhibits reduced magnetic susceptibility and increased conductivity with a simultaneous change in IR absorption spectrum. The multiple photonic effects in V(TCNE)x are proposed to originate from structural changes induced by internal excitation in (TCNE)- anions, which lead to relaxation to a long-lived metastable state.     

X-ray magnetic circular dichroism and resonant photomission of V(TCNE)x hybrid magnets

Thin films of V(TCNE)x were deposited in ultrahigh vacuum using a film growth technique based on in situ chemical vapor deposition of tetracyanoethylene, TCNE, and bis-benzene vanadium, V(C6H6)2. The in situ preparation method enabled, for the first time, experimental analysis of oxygen-free films. X-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements recorded at the V L(2,3) edge confirmed room temperature magnetic ordering. A combination of conventional photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) and resonant photoemission (RPE) measured at the V L3 edge shows that the highest occupied electronic state is V(3d) derived. The rearrangements of the TCNE- related valence electronic states observed in PES and the evidence of V(3d) and TCNE- pi(pi*) orbital overlap contained in RPE spectra, indicate that strong, covalent type bonding occurs between the vanadium and the TCNE molecules.     

Magnetic Excitations and the Curie Temperature of Decamethylchromocenium Tetracyanoethylenide

We describe the molecular ferromagnet decamethylchromocenium tetracyanoethanide [C_rC_p2^*] [TCNE] by a quasi-one-dimensional alternating-spin model with ferromagnetic exchange interaction. The spin-wave theory is used to discuss the magnetic excitation of the molecular ferromagnet. We obtain the magnetizations corresponding to different external magnetic fields without interchain exchange interaction which is consistent with the experimental results. The formula of the Curie temperature T_c is obtained by using the thermodynamic Green's function method. It is found to be related to the spin of donors, to the intrachain exchange interaction and to the spatial anisotropic parameter. The result obtained by this T_c formula is consistent with the experimental result T_c = 3.6 K for [C_rC_p2^*][TCNE].     

Activated scaling of classical and quantum spin glasses

A model for thermally activated dynamics in disordered systems shows that the linear and nonlinear susceptibility follows a generic exponential form with a "critical rounding," chi(1) proportional to chi(3) proportional to [T ln(t/tau(0)')/K](gamma/b phi) exp - [Tt(g)(phi b)ln(t/tau(0)'/K)](nu/b) (T=temperature, t=time, K=barrier constant, t(g) = 1 - T(SG)/T, and T(SG) = transition temperature; gamma>0 for chi(3) and <0 for chi(1)). This model, also valid in the presence of resonant tunneling states at energies K(0) < K [provided that K is replaced by K(0)+2T ln (1/Gamma(0)), where Gamma(0)(2) proportional, variant tunnel splitting of a spin S=1], is potentially applicable to a wide variety of systems opening the way for the study of thermally activated quantum phase transitions. The famous spin-glass system LiHo(x)Y(1-x) seems to follow this model.     

Muon spin relaxation and susceptibility studies of the pure and diluted spin 1/2 kagomé-like lattice system (CuxZn(1-x))3V2O7(OH2) 2H2O

Muon spin relaxation and magnetic susceptibility measurements have been performed on the pure and diluted spin 1/2 kagomé system (CuxZn(1-x))3V2O7(OH)2 2H2O. In the pure x=1 system we found a slowing down of Cu spin fluctuations with decreasing temperature towards T approximately 1 K, followed by slow and nearly temperature-independent spin fluctuations persisting down to T=50 mK, indicative of quantum fluctuations. No indication of static spin freezing was detected in either of the pure (x=1.0) or diluted samples. The observed magnitude of fluctuating fields indicates that the slow spin fluctuations represent an intrinsic property of kagomé network rather than impurity spins.     

Structural and magnetic properties of Dy2Co17—xMnx compounds

Using x-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements, we have studied the structural and magnetic properties of Dy₂Co_17-xMn_x (x=0∽5) compounds with a rhombohedral Th₂Zn₁₇-type structure. With an increasing Mn concentration x, the unit-cell volume V was found to increase linearly. The Curie temperature T_c decreases linearly, and the saturation magnetization M_s at 5K first increases slightly for x<1, then decreases rapidly for x>1 with a further increase of Mn concentration x. In compounds for x=1～3, a spin reorientation was found. A magnetic diagram of the compounds is given.

Observation of B decays to two kaons

Using 449x10(6) BB[over ] pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) collider, we observe clear signals for B(+)-->K[over ](0)K(+) and B(0)-->K[over ](0)K(0) decays with 5.3sigma and 6.0sigma significance, respectively. We measure the branching fractions B(B(+)-->K[over ](0)K(+))=(1.22(-0.28-0.16)(+0.32+0.13))x10(-6) and B(B(0)-->K[over ](0)K(0))=(0.87(-0.20)(+0.25)+/-0.09)x10(-6), and partial-rate asymmetries A(CP)(B(+)-->K[over ](0)K(+))=0.13(-0.24)(+0.23)+/-0.02 and A(CP)(B(0)-->K[over ](0)K(0))=-0.58(-0.66)(+0.73)+/-0.04. From a simultaneous fit, we also obtain B(B(+)-->K(0)pi(+))=(22.8(-0.7)(+0.8)+/-1.3)x10(-6) and A(CP)(B(+)-->K(0)pi(+))=0.03+/-0.03+/-0.01. The first and second error in the branching fractions and the partial-rate asymmetries are statistical and systematic, respectively. No signal is observed for B(0)-->K(+)K(-) decays, and for this branching fraction, we set an upper limit of 4.1x10(-7) at the 90% confidence level.     

Structure, spin reorientation and M(o)ssbauer effect studies of Tb0.3Dy0.7(Fe1-xAlx)1.95 alloys

The effect of Al substitution for Fe on crystal structure, magnetostriction and spontaneous magnetostriction, anisotropy and spin reorientation of a series of polycrystalline Tb0.3Dy0.7(Fe1-xAlx)1.95 alloys (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30, 0.35) at room temperature and 77 K was investigated systematically. It was found that the primary phase of Tb0.3Dy0.7(Fe1-xAlx)1.95 is the MgCu2-type cubic Laves phase structure when x < 0.4 and the lattice constant a of Tb0.3Dy0.7(Fe1-xAlx)1.95 increases approximately and monotonically with the increase of x. The substitution of Al leads to the fact that the magnetostriction ( inceases slightly in a low magnetic field (H ≤ 40 kA/m), but decreases sharply and is easily close to saturation in a high applied field as x increases, showing that a small amount of Al substitution is beneficial to a decrease in the magnetocrystalline anisotropy. It was also found that the spontaneous magnetostriction (ζ)111 decreases greatly with x increasing. The analysis of the M(o)ssbauer spectra indicated that the easy magnetization direction in the {110} plane deviates slightly from the main axis of symmetry with the changes of composition and temperature, namely spin reorientation. A small amount of non-magnetic phase exists for x = 0.15 in Tb0.3Dy0.7(Fe1-xAlx)1.95 alloys and the alloys become paramagnetic for x > 0.15 at room temperture, but at 77 K the alloys still remain magnetic phase even for x = 0.2. At room temperature and 77 K, the hyperfine field decreases and the isomer shifts increase with Al concentration increasing.

Photoinduced magnetism and random magnetic anisotropy in organic-based magnetic semiconductor V(TCNE){x} films, for x approximately 2

The V(TCNE){x}, x approximately 2 is an organic-based amorphous ferrimagnet, whose magnetic behavior is significantly affected in the low field regime by the random magnetic anisotropy. It was determined that this material has thermally reversible persistent change in both magnetization and conductivity driven by the optical excitation. Here, we report results of a ferrimagnetic resonance study of the photoinduced magnetism in V(TCNE){x} film. Upon optical excitation (lambda approximately 457.9 nm), the ferrimagnetic resonance spectra display substantial changes in their linewidths and line shifts, which reflect a substantial increase in the random magnetic anistropy. The results reflect the role of magnetic anisotropy in disordered magnets and suggest a novel mechanism of photoinduced magnetism in V(TCNE){x} induced by the increased structural disorder in the system.     

EPR study of monomeric and dimeric vanadyl ions in SbVO 5

A new compound, SbVO 5 , formed in the V-Sb-O system, has been synthesized and investigated using the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique. SbVO 5 has been prepared by two methods: by heating equimolar mixtures of V 2 O 5 and f -Sb 2 O 4 in air and by oxidation of the known phase (SbVO 4.5 ) of rutile type obtained in pure argon at temperatures between 550 v C and 650 v C. At room temperature only a weak EPR signal from the powder sample of SbVO 5 was detected corroborating the absence of bulk V(IV) ions in the structure. Comparison with the CuSO 4 reference sample revealed that only 0.02% vanadium ions are EPR active. Intense EPR spectra obtained in the low temperature range, below 100 v K, showed a well resolved hyperfine structure typical of isolated vanadium ions in axial symmetry, present as VO 2+ species, and a broad line attributed to V 4+ -O-V 5+ bonds. The hyperfine structure lines could be analyzed by an axial spin Hamiltonian with g =1.9311, g =1.9425 and A =181 ‐ 10 m 4 v cm m 1 , A =54 ‐ 10 m 4 v cm m 1 . The spectrum recorded at the lowest obtainable temperature T=3.65 v K contains yet another component which is typical of a triplet state indicating the presence of two interacting VO 2+ nuclei with spin 1/2 giving a singlet S=0 and a triplet S=1 state. The appearance of a low-field line (B～1600 v Gs at g , 4) is another diagnostic for the presence of dimeric species and is attributed to the forbidden j M S = - 2 transition.     

Magnetic properties of a quasi-one-dimensional organic ferromagnet

A quasi-one-dimensional alternating-spin Heisenberg model is used to describe the charge-transfer organic ferromagnet, which is studied by the Green's function method. The magnetic properties of the charge-transfer organic ferromagnet in different temperature regions are obtained. A formula for the critical temperature T_c is obtained and is found to be related to the spin of donors, to the intrachain exchange interaction, and to the spatial anisotropy parameter. This conclusion can explain T_c of the organic ferromagnet. The spatial anisotropy parameter of the organic ferromagnet [FeCp₂¹][TCNE] we obtained is consistent with the estimated value of Narayan et al. The Curie-Weiss temperature Θ for the organic ferromagnet [CrCp₂¹][TCNE] we obtained is Θ = 15.6 K which is near the experimental result of θ = 22±1 K.

The result of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE)-grown ridge-waveguide InGaAs/ InGaAsP/InP strained quantum well lasers at 2 μm wavelength is reported. The pulsed electrical luminescence spectrum at room temperature is observed with peak wavelength of about 1.98 μm. At 77 K the lasers become lasing in pulse regime, with threshold current of about 18～30 mA, peak wavelength of about 1.87～ 1. 91 μm, and single longitudinal mode operation in the current range of 160～230 mA.     

Systematic search for spontaneous neutral to ionic and ionic to neutral transitions in organometallic materials based on minimally alkylated ferrocenes and classical polycyanide electron acceptors

Methyl-, ethyl- and n-butyl ferrocene (I–III) form dark colored charge transfer complexes with TCNE both in solution and by trituration of the solid donor and acceptor. Their Mössbauer spectra suggest only minor reduction of the TCNE acceptor. On the other hand, 1,1-dimethylferrocene (IV) forms a ferricenium complex with TCNE of 12 stoichiometry whose structure is likely similar to that determined for [IV][TCNQ]₂. The new 12 ferricenium-TCNE phase undergoes a novel, spontaneous, irreversible solid-state transformation back to a mixture of a low spin Fe^II ferrocene species and a high spin Fe^II complex over a period of weeks at ambient temperature. In preliminary studies, irradiation of samples of these materials with white light (including near infrared wavelengths) suggests significant photochemical activity of the type and vice versa in the solid state. This is observable in Mössbauer spectra at 77 K. In the absence of irradiation with tungsten-halogen white light sources, however, the photo product is not permanently trapped at this temperature.     

Observation of a liquid-gas-type transition in the pyrochlore spin ice compound Dy2Ti2O7 in a magnetic field

Low temperature magnetization measurements on the pyrochlore spin ice compound Dy2Ti2O7 reveal that the ice-rule breaking spin flip, appearing at H approximately 0.9 T applied parallel to the [111] direction, turns into a novel first-order transition for T<0.36 K which is most probably of a liquid-gas type. T-linear variation of the critical field observed down to 0.03 K suggests the unusual situation that the entropy release across the transition remains finite [approximately 0.5 (J/K) x mol-Dy] as T-->0, in accordance with a breaking of the macroscopic degeneracy in the intermediate "kagomé ice" state.
