ATOMIC AND MAGNETIC STRUCTURE OF THE ORGANIC MAGNET Ni(TCNQ)2

DOI

Molecular magnets continue to be an important field of magnetic materials research. Such molecular magnets are chemically synthesized at temperatures lower than conventional magnetic materials. Also, their ability to be easily functionalized offers, for example, a method to modify bulk magnetic responses at a molecular level. We wish to investigate the atomic and magnetic structures of the molecular magnet Ni(TCNQ)2 using neutron scattering. This material is a charge transfer compound that is crystalline and exhibits glassy ferromagnetism below about 25K. The atomic structure will be determined from a room temperature diffraction scan on HRPD and other scans will be made to determine changes in the unit cell with temperature. Magnetic structure will be determined by diffraction scans made on WISH at temperatures made above, below and in the vicinity of the ferromagnetic transition.
