Magneto-optical investigations of molecular nanomagnet monolayers

Dalton Trans. 2016 May 4;45(18):7555-8. doi: 10.1039/c6dt00839a.

Abstract

We report field-dependent magnetization measurements on monolayers of [Dy(Pc)2] on quartz, prepared by the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. The films are thoroughly characterized by means of X-ray reflectivity and atomic force microscopy. The magnetisation of the sample is measured through the magnetic circular dichroism of a ligand-based electronic transition.
