Open Access Theses & Dissertations

Molecules and materials constructed from Mn atoms offer diverse assortments of geomet- rical and spin structures. The diversity of structures, in comparison with other transition metals, along with nature’s decision to use a Mn-based molecule to catalyze solar-driven water splitting and oxygen evolution, suggests that there is indeed something special about the location of Mn valence electrons, both energetically and geometrically, that endows Mn with its multifaceted behaviors that, in turn, provide such chemical, physical and mag- netic diversity. Based upon recent work on the Mn3 monomer and the Mn(taa) there is an expectation that Mn�� �� �� centers can …


Exchange Coupling In Molecular Magnets: Zero, One And Three Dimensions, Asma Amjad Jan 2013

Exchange Coupling In Molecular Magnets: Zero, One And Three Dimensions, Asma Amjad

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Molecular magnets with different dimensionality, whether they are zero-dimensional singlemolecule magnets (SMM) or one-dimensional single-chain magnets (SCM) are very interesting, since they allow probing the fundamental aspects bordering quantum and classical physics at the nanoscale level. This dissertation covers experimental studies of two Mn-based exchangecoupled molecule-based magnets and two Co-based single-chain magnets, using both dc Halleffect magnetometry and electron paramagnet resonance (EPR) techniques. In these multidimensional systems, the spin of the molecule exhibits quantum mechanical behavior at low temperature. It is quite interesting to observe the effect of magnetic exchange interactions on the magnetic properties of various complexes; hence they …


Radiation-Induced Decomposition Of The Metal-Organic Molecule Bis(4-Cyano-2,2,6,6-Tetramethyl-3,5-Heptanedionato)Copper(Ii), David Wisbey, Ning Wu, Yaroslav B. Losovyj, Ihor Ketsman, A. N. Caruso, Danqin Feng, John Belot, Elio Vescovo, Peter A. Dowben May 2012

The effects of vacuum ultraviolet radiation on the adsorbed copper center molecule bis(4-cyano-2,2,6,6- tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato)copper(II) (or Cu(CNdpm)2), (C24H36N2O4Cu, Cu(II)) was studied by photoemission spectroscopy. Changes in the ultraviolet photoemission spectra (UPS) of Cu(CNdpm)2, adsorbed on Co(1 1 1), indicate that the ultraviolet radiation leads to decomposition of Cu(CNdpm)2 and this decomposition is initially dominated by loss of peripheral hydrogen.


Induced Spin Polarization Of Copper Spin 1/2 Molecular Layers, David Wisbey, Ning Wu, Danqin Feng, A. N. Caruso, J. Belot, Yaroslav B. Losovyj, Elio Vescovo, Peter A. Dowben May 2012

Thin films of the metal organic molecule bis(4-cyano-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato)copper(II) (or Cu(CNdpm)2), (C24H36N2O4Cu, Cu(II)), deposited on ferromagnetic Co(111) at 40 K, exhibit a finite electron spin polarization. The spin polarization magnitude and sign for Cu(CNdpm)2 deposited on Co(111) is coverage dependent, but deviates from the mean field expectations for a simple paramagnet on a ferromagnetic substrate. The spin asymmetry is seen to favor select molecular orbitals, consistent with the predicted single molecule density of states. The overlayer polarization observed indicates a strong influence of the ferromagnetic Co(111) substrate and some extra-molecular magnetic coupling.
