Recent experimental and theoretical work has focused on ferromagnetic nanotubes due to their potential applications as magnetic sensors or as elements in high-density magnetic memory. The possible presence of magnetic vortex states-states which produce no stray fields-makes these structures particularly promising as storage devices. Here we investigate the behavior of the magnetization states in individual Ni nanotubes by sensitive cantilever magnetometry. Magnetometry measurements are carried out in the three major orientations, revealing the presence of different stable magnetic states. The observed behavior is well-described by a model based on the presence of uniform states at high applied magnetic fields and a circumferential onion state at low applied fields.

Stabilizing large easy-axis type magnetic anisotropy in molecular complexes is a challenging task, yet it is crucial for the development of information storage devices and applications in molecular spintronics. Achieving this requires a deep understanding of electronic structure and the relationships between structure and properties to develop magneto-structural correlations that are currently unexplored in the literature. Herein, a series of five-coordinate distorted square pyramidal Co complexes [Co(L)(X)].

In the study of mononuclear transition metal single molecule magnets (SMMs), extensive research has concentrated on identifying optimal coordination geometries around the central metal ion to enhance SMM properties. However, the role of non-covalent interactions in the second coordination sphere has been relatively underexplored. Here, we study the impact of non-covalent Cl⋯H interactions on the magnetic anisotropy of the central Co(II) ion in the distorted axially compressed octahedral complex CoCl(tu) (1) (tu = SC(NH)).

Optically addressable spin defects in three-dimensional (3D) crystals and two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials are revolutionizing nanoscale quantum sensing. Spin defects in one-dimensional (1D) vdW nanotubes will provide unique opportunities due to their small sizes in two dimensions and absence of dangling bonds on side walls. However, optically detected magnetic resonance of localized spin defects in a nanotube has not been observed.

Article Synopsis
- The magnetic behavior of 4d and 5d metal ion complexes, like osmium(III) acetylacetonate [Os(acac)], is not well-studied, highlighting the need for comprehensive multi-technique research.
- X-ray diffraction couldn't resolve the structure of the β-polymorph of [Os(acac)], but combined magnetic and spectroscopic methods confirmed its orthorhombic structure, which is similar to that of a ruthenium(III) compound.
- The study also found that all acetylacetonate complexes in the eighth group of the periodic table show similar structural characteristics, and utilized novel torque magnetometry to observe the complex's magnetic properties, including the orientation of the easy axis and unique magnetic
A Non-Perturbative, Low-Noise Surface Coating for Sensitive Force-Gradient Detection of Electron Spin Resonance in Thin Films.

The sensitivity of magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM) is limited by surface noise. Coating a thin-film polymer sample with metal has been shown to decrease, by orders of magnitude, sample-related force noise and frequency noise in MRFM experiments. Using both MRFM and inductively detected measurements of electron-spin resonance, we show that thermally evaporating a 12 nm gold layer on a 40 nm nitroxide-doped polystyrene film inactivates the nitroxide spin labels to a depth of 20 nm, making single-spin measurements difficult or impossible.
