Films of Mn-12-acetate deposited by low-energy laser ablation Academic Article

abstract

• Thin films of the molecular magnet Mn12-acetate, [Mn 12O12(CH3COO)16(H2O) 4]t;2CH3COOH4H2O, have been prepared using a laser ablation technique with a nitrogen laser at low laser energies of 0.8 and 2 mJ. Chemical and magnetic characterizations show that the Mn12-acetate cores remain intact and the films show similar magnetic properties to those of the parent molecular starting material. In addition, the magnetic data exhibit a peak in the magnetization at 27 K indicating the creation of an additional magnetic phase not noted in previous studies of crystalline phases. 2004 Elsevier B.V.
