第一过渡系金属-镝单分子磁体研究进展与展望

第一过渡系中的顺磁性离子Cr^Ⅲ、Mn^Ⅱ/Mn^Ⅲ、Fe^Ⅱ/Fe^Ⅲ、Co^Ⅱ、Ni^Ⅱ和Cu^Ⅱ及抗磁性离子Co^Ⅲ和Zn^Ⅱ均可与Dy^Ⅲ在多齿螯合配体配位下形成单分子磁体配合物。在本文中,我们阐述或汇总了几乎所有的第一过渡系金属-镝单分子磁体。对于由顺磁性第一过渡金属离子和Dy^Ⅲ离子形成的配合物,有2个有趣的现象需要引起人们的注意：一是一些Cr-Dy配合物具有较高的阻塞温度和较大的矫顽场,这可归功于配合物内Cr^Ⅲ离子和Dy^Ⅲ离子之间较强的磁耦合作用（|J|>10 cm^-1）。二是报道的Fe^Ⅱ₂-Dy配合物的能垒可达到319 cm^-1（459 K）,这在第一过渡系金属-镝单分子磁体中也是比较高的。这可能与Fe^Ⅱ₂-Dy中Dy^Ⅲ具有较高的轴向对称性（D_5h）有关,且从头计算表明该配合物中Dy的第一激发态也具有较高的轴向对称性。除了部分Cr-Dy和Fe^Ⅱ-Dy配合物外,其他顺磁性第一过渡金属-Dy的能垒较低,这可能由配合物内顺磁离子间弱的磁耦合造成的。为了消除磁耦合对磁弛豫行为影响,近年来人们关注于使用抗磁性第一过渡金属离子与Dy^Ⅲ构建单分子磁体配合物。相比其他核数的Zn-Dy配合物,三核Zn₂Dy配合物被报道的数目最多且研究得最为深入,这可能与较易调控Zn₂Dy中Dy配位几何对称性有关。最后,我们提出了几点关于进一步提升第一过渡系金属-镝单分子磁体的磁性能的建议,其中最为重要的是控制Dy配位几何的轴向对称性及Dy的基态m_J的电荷分布。对于第一过渡系金属-镝单分子磁体中的Dy^Ⅲ离子,Dy^Ⅲ基态m_J的电荷与配体的电荷之间的静电排斥应该降到最低。

Analysis of the Magnetic Coupling in a Mn(II)-U(V)-Mn(II) Single Molecule Magnet

[{Mn(TPA)I}{UO2(Mesaldien)}{Mn(TPA)I}]I formula (here TPA=tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine and Mesaldien=N,N’-(2-aminomethyl)diethylenebis(salicylidene imine)) reported by Mazzanti and coworkers (Chatelain et al. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014 , 53, 13434) is so far the best Single Molecule Magnet (SMM) in the {3d–5f} class of molecules exhibiting barrier height of magnetization reversal as high as 81.0 K. In this work, we have employed a combination of ab initio CAS and DFT methods to fully characterize this compound and to extract the relevant spin Hamiltonian parameters. We show that the signs of the magnetic coupling and of the g-factors of the monomers are interconnected. The central magnetic unit [U^VO₂]⁺ is described by a Kramers Doublet (KD) with negative g-factors, due to a large orbital contribution. The magnetic coupling for the {Mn(II)-U(V)} pair is modeled by an anisotropic exchange Hamiltonian: all components are ferromagnetic in terms of spin moments, the parallel component J_Z twice larger as the perpendicular one J_⊥. The spin density distribution suggests that spin polarization on the U(V) center favors the ferromagnetic coupling. Further, the J_Z/J_⊥ ratio, which is related to the barrier height, was found to correlate to the corresponding spin contribution of the g-factors of the U(V) center. This correlation established for the first time offers a direct way to estimate this important ratio from the corresponding g^S-values, which can be obtained using traditional ab initio packages and hence has a wider application to other {3d–5f} magnets. It is finally shown that the magnetization barrier height is tuned by the splitting of the [U^VO₂]⁺ 5 f orbitals.

Inducing anisotropy in bulk Nd-Fe-Co-Al-B nanocrystalline alloys by quenching in magnetic field

We have observed magnetic anisotropy in bulk Nd_55−xCo_xFe₃₀Al₁₀B₅ (x=10, 15 and 20) alloys prepared by copper mold suction casting method with a presence of external magnetic field (quenching field) μ₀H=0.25 T. By changing direction of the measuring field from perpendicular to parallel one in comparison with that of the quenching field, coercive force of the alloys slightly decreases while remanent magnetization and squareness of hysteresis loop increase more clearly. It is also found that the higher Co-concentration in the alloys the larger magnetic anisotropy is induced. The structure analyses manifest nanocrystalline particles embedded in residual amorphous matrix of the alloys. The size of the particles is in range of 10-30 nm and their crystalline phases consist of Nd₂(Fe,Co)₁₄B, Nd₃Co, Nd₃Al, NdAl₂ and Nd.     

Magnetic domain structures of precipitation-hardened SmCo 2：17-type sintered magnets： Heat treatment effect

The typical magnetic domains of Sm（CObalFe0.25Cuo.07Zr0.02）7.4 magnets quenched through various heattreatment steps have been revealed by using magnetic force microscopy （MFM）. For the specimens in which the nominal c-axis is perpendicular to the imaging plane, the domain configurations change from plate-like for the as-sintered magnet to corrugation and spike-like for the homogenized one, and then to a coarse and finally to a finer domain structure when isothermally aged at 830℃ and then annealed at 400℃. However, only plate-like domains can be detected on the surfaces with the nominal c-axis parallel to the imaging plane. The finer domain （so-called interaction domain） is a characteristic magnetic domain pattern of the SmCo 2：IT-type magnets with high coercivities. Domain walls in a zigzag shape are revealed by means of MFM in final bulk SraCo 2：17-type sintered magnets.
