Abstract :

The study of functional materials is an important issue in the field of solid state science. Up to date, we have reported various unique magnetic functionalities using cyano-bridged bimetallic assembly. Furthermore, we have observed a photo-reversible metal-semiconductor phase transition at room temperature in λ-Ti3O5. In addition, we have developed a pure phase of ε -iron oxide nanomaterials, which exhibit a gigantic magnetic coercive field and high frequency millimeter wave absorption. Photogmagnetism based on cyano-bridged bimetal assembly Spontaneous bulk magnetization due to light-induced spin-crossover was observed in a metal-organic framework (MOF) based on a three-dimensional Fe-Nb bimetallic assembly, Fe 2 [Nb(CN) 8 ]?(4-pyridinealdoxime) 8 ?2H 2 O. This photomagnet showed magnetic phase transition at 20 K, which originates from the long-range magnetic ordering between the Fe II HS sites through −NC−Nb IV (S=1/2)−CN− bridge. Gigantic coercive field and high frequency millimeter wave absorption based on ε -Fe 2 O 3 Rh-substituted ε-Fe 2 O 3 , ε-RhxFe 2 −xO 3 nanomagnets was prepared by a nanoscale chemical synthesis. ε-RhxFe 2 −xO 3 nanomagnets exhibit a huge Hc of 27 kOe at room temperature. Furthermore, a crystallographically oriented sample recorded an H c value of 31 kOe, which is the largest among metal-oxide-based magnets and is comparable to those of rare-earth magnets. In addition, ε-RhxFe2−xO 3 shows the highest zero-field ferromagnetic resonance frequency, resulting in high frequency millimeter wave absorption and magnetic rotation above 200 GHz.
