The azafullerene Tb @C N is found to be a single-molecule magnet with a high 100-s blocking temperature of magnetization of 24 K and large coercivity. Tb magnetic moments with an easy-axis single-ion magnetic anisotropy are strongly coupled by the unpaired spin of the single-electron Tb-Tb bond. Relaxation of magnetization in Tb @C N below 15 K proceeds via quantum tunneling of magnetization with the characteristic time τ =16 462±1230 s. At higher temperature, relaxation follows the Orbach mechanism with a barrier of 757±4 K, corresponding to the excited states, in which one of the Tb spins is flipped.
发现氮杂富勒烯Tb@CN是一种单分子磁体,其具有24 K的高100-s阻塞温度和大矫顽力。具有易轴单离子磁各向异性的Tb磁矩通过单电子Tb-Tb键的未配对自旋强烈耦合。在15 K以下,Tb@CN中的磁化弛豫通过磁化的量子隧穿进行,特征时间τ =16462±1230 s。在较高温度下,弛豫遵循具有757±4 K势垒的奥尔巴赫机制,该势垒对应于其中一个Tb自旋翻转的激发态。
