Abstract:

The magnetic properties of ErSc2 N @ C80, Er2 ScN @ C80 and Er3 N @ C80 metallofullerenes are characterized in the temperature range 2 to 300 K up to a magnetic field of 7 T. The magnetic susceptibility of these fullerenes follows the Curie-Weiss law. The fitting parameters to the Curie-Weiss law provide an effective magnetic moment μeff of Er3 + ion in each of the fullerenes. The magnetic moment decreases with the increase in number of Er3 + ions inside the cage. This is related to crystal-field effects, intramolecular interactions and the local quenching of the angular momentum of the ion within the fullerene cage. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
