Abstract:
Wepresent the synthesis, single-crystal X-ray (173 K) and powder neutron (2-30 K) structures and its thermal, optical and magnetic properties of K 2CoII3(OH)2(SO4) 2(H2O)2. It is a ferrimagnet (TC= 29.7 K) constructed of Co3(OH)2 diamond chains connected by sulfate and it displays hysteresis loops ranging from being soft with nearly zero coercivity between 29 and 10 K to very hard reaching coercive field exceeding 70 kOe at 1.8 K. This dramatic change is associated with the changes in domain shape due to the strong exchange anisotropy. Considerable frequency dependence of the acsusceptibilities is observed in the ordered state.Measurements on a single crystal have established the magnetic axes to be a-axis (easy), b-axis (intermediate), and c-axis (hard). © 2010 American Chemical Society.Muon spin relaxation investigation of magnetic ordering in the hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites [(CH3)2NH2]M(HCOO)3, M = Ni,Co,Mn,Cu
