We report the spin structure of an exchange-biased ferromagnetic oxide heterostructure, La(0.67)Sr(0.33)MnO(3)/SrRuO(3), through magnetization and polarized neutron reflectometry measurements. We reveal that the magnetization reversal process of the La(0.67)Sr(0.33)MnO(3) biased layer critically depends on the frozen-in spin structure of the SrRuO(3) biasing layer during the cooling process. Furthermore, we observe unexpected double-shifted hysteresis loops of the biased layer that originates from the formation of lateral 180° magnetic domains within the biasing layer, a new mechanism not found in conventional exchange-bias systems.

Nitrenes (R-N) have been subject to a large body of experimental and theoretical studies. The fundamental reactivity of this important class of transient intermediates has been attributed to their electronic structures, particularly the accessibility of triplet vs singlet states. In contrast, electronic structure trends along the heavier pnictinidene analogues (R-Pn; Pn = P-Bi) are much less systematically explored.

The solvent effect on the indirect J(M-P) spin-spin coupling constant in phosphine selenoether -substituted acenaphthene complexes LMCl is studied at the PP86 level of nonrelativistic and four-component relativistic density functional theory. Depending on the metal, the solvent effect can amount to as much as 50% or more of the total -value. This explains the previously found disagreement between the J(Hg-P) coupling in LHgCl, observed experimentally and calculated without considering solvent effects.

Phase distributions typically contain richer information about the morphology, structure, and organizational properties of a sample than intensity distributions. However, due to the weak scattering and absorption properties of pure phase objects, intensity measurements are unable to provide information about the phase, making it more challenging to reveal phase structure from the incident light background. Here, we propose a method for visualizing phase objects through simple optical reflection occurring at a glass interface.

Two Gd(III) complexes [GdL(HO)(NO)(CHOH)(CHCHOH)] (Gd1) and [Gd(OOCCH)L(HO)]•2(HO) (Gd2) (HL = 2-pyridylcarboxaldehyde isonicotinoylhydrazone) were synthesized with a Schiff base ligand. Crystallographic study reveals both Gd1 and Gd2 have a zero-dimensional mononuclear or binuclear structure. Magnetic investigations demonstrate that Gd1 and Gd2 exhibit potential magnetocaloric effects due to Gd(III) ions, which provide negligible magnetic anisotropy, and possess low-lying excited spin states.

The emergence of spinon quasiparticles, which carry spin but lack charge, is a hallmark of collective quantum phenomena in low-dimensional quantum spin systems. While the existence of spinons has been demonstrated through scattering spectroscopy in ensemble samples, real-space imaging of these quasiparticles within individual spin chains has remained elusive. In this study, we construct individual Heisenberg antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 chains using open-shell [2]triangulene molecules as building blocks.
