Materials based on spin crossover (SCO) molecules have centred the attention in Molecular Magnetism for more than forty years as they provide unique examples of multifunctional and stimuli-responsive materials, which can be then integrated into electronic devices to exploit their molecular bistability. This process often requires the preparation of thermally stable SCO molecules that can sublime and remain intact in contact with surfaces. However, the number of robust sublimable SCO molecules is still very scarce. Here we report a novel example of this kind. It is based on a neutral iron (II) coordination complex formulated as [FeII(neoim)2], where neoimH is the ionogenic ligand 2-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)-9-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline. In the first part a comprehensive study, which covers the synthesis and magneto-structural characterization of the [FeII(neoim)2] complex as a bulk microcrystalline material, is reported. Then, in the second part we investigate the suitability of this material to form thin films through high vacuum (HV) sublimation. Finally, the retainment of all present SCO capabilities in the bulk when the material is processed is thoroughly studied by means of X-ray absorption spectroscopy. In particular, a very efficient and fast light-induced spin transition (LIESST effect) has been observed, even for ultrathin films of 15 nm.
Observation of Two-dimensional Superconductivity in an Ultrathin Iron-Arsenic Superconductor
二维超导体为探索新的量子物理和高$T_c$超导性提供了重要的平台。二维铁砷超导体的本征超导性质由于超导样品制备的困难而至今仍不清楚。本文报道了铁砷超导体KCa $_2$ Fe $_4$ As $_4$ F $_2$的高质量单晶超导薄膜的制备和物理研究。对于厚度为2.6 $\sim$ 5 nm(1 $\sim$ 2个晶胞)的样品,观察到在30 K附近(起始点)的急剧超导转变。与块体材料相比,在面内场作用下,纳米晶样品具有较低的$T_c$、较宽的过渡区宽度和较宽的磁通液相区。此外,角相关的上临界场遵循Tinkham模型,证明了在KCa $_2$ Fe $_4$ As $_4$ F $_2$中的二维超导性。

Imaging Magnetization Structure and Dynamics in Ultrathin YIG/Pt Bilayers with High Sensitivity Using the Time-Resolved Longitudinal Spin Seebeck Effect
我们展示了一种仪器的时间分辨磁成像,是高度敏感的面内磁化状态和动态的薄膜双层的钇铁石榴石(Y3 Fe 5 O 12,YIG)/Pt:时间分辨纵向自旋Seebeck(TRLSSE)效应显微镜。我们通过聚焦皮秒激光来检测YIG内的局部面内磁取向,以通过自旋Seebeck效应从YIG产生热驱动的自旋电流到Pt中,然后使用Pt中的逆自旋霍尔效应将该自旋电流转换为输出电压。为了建立TRLSSE的时间分辨率,我们表明,图案化的YIG(20 nm)/Pt(6 nm)/Ru(2 nm)线的脉冲光加热产生小于100 ps的磁化相关的电压脉冲。我们证明TRLSSE显微镜图像静态磁结构和千兆赫兹频率的磁共振动力学与亚微米的空间分辨率和磁取向低于0.3 $^{\circ}/\sqrt{\text{Hz}}$的灵敏度在YIG。

Ambipolar suppression of superconductivity by ionic gating in optimally-doped BaFe2(As,P)2 ultrathin films
铁基化合物Ba-122家族的超导电性(SC)可以通过异价或等价取代、施加的外部压力和应变来控制,有时在同一样品中研究这些因素的综合影响。大多数情况下,结果限于SC圆顶向不同掺杂值的移位。在少数情况下,最佳掺杂下的最大SC跃迁也可以增强。在这项工作中,我们研究了电荷掺杂与等价P取代和应变的组合,通过对BaFe $_2$(As $_{0.8}$ P $_{0.2}$)$_2$薄膜进行离子门控实验。我们发现,离子门的极化诱导调制的正常状态的输运性质,可以主要归因于表面电荷掺杂。我们表明,离子门控只能移动系统远离最佳条件,因为SC转变温度被电子和空穴掺杂抑制。我们还观察到一个扩大的电阻转变,这表明SC序参量调制非均匀的膜厚度,与早期的报道电荷掺杂的标准BCS超导体和铜酸盐。

Terahertz spin currents and inverse spin Hall effect in thin-film heterostructures containing complex magnetic compounds
磁性和重金属多层膜的太赫兹发射光谱最近引起了人们的极大兴趣。这种方法不仅提供了光致自旋输运和自旋轨道相互作用在最高频率的基本见解,但也铺平了道路,如太赫兹电磁辐射的高效和超宽带发射器的应用。到目前为止,主要是标准的铁磁材料已被利用。在这里,通过引入合适的品质因数,我们系统地比较了X/Pt双层的太赫兹发射强度,X是一个复杂的铁,铁和反铁磁金属,即镝钴(DyCo $_5$),钆铁(Gd $_{24}$ Fe $_{76}$),磁铁矿(Fe $_3$ O $_4$)和铁铑(FeRh)。我们发现,在自旋电流产生方面的性能不仅取决于自旋极化的磁体的传导电子,但也对特定的接口条件,从而表明太赫兹发射光谱是一个高度表面敏感的技术。在一般情况下,我们的研究结果是相关的所有应用程序,依赖于在自旋电子金属多层膜的超快自旋电流的光学产生。
