We observe the hysteresis of a spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) transition in a parametrically modulated magneto-optical trap by sweeping the total number of atoms and study thermal hysteretic behavior in the system by measuring the scaling exponent of hysteresis. It is shown that the relaxation time of the order parameter in the SSB transition becomes larger near the critical number. The scaling exponent of the hysteresis area with number sweeping rate is found to be 0.64±0.04, which is consistent with the value in the mean-field model.

Exploring the equilibrium and non-equilibrium properties of a cooperative trinuclear spin-crossover chain: The role of elastic frustration.

Among the large family of spin-crossover (SCO) solids, recent investigations focused on polynuclear SCO materials, whose specific molecular configurations allow the presence of multi-step transitions and elastic frustration. In this contribution, we develop the first elastic modeling of thermal and dynamical properties of trinuclear SCO solids. For that, we study a finite SCO open chain constituted of successive elastically coupled trinuclear (A=B=C) blocks, in which each site (A, B, and C) may occupy two electronic configurations, namely, low-spin (LS) and high-spin (HS) states, accompanied with structural changes.

Article Synopsis
- - The compound polycrystalline [FeL2][BF4]2 demonstrates a significant hysteretic spin transition around 240 K, with its behavior influenced by sample history, consisting of two related high-spin polymorphs (HS1 and HS2).
- - Upon cooling, both high-spin forms transition to low-spin phases (LS3 and LS4) at approximately 230 K, with LS3 coming from HS1 and LS4 from HS2, showing different crystal structures and transition temperatures.
- - Repeated cycling through the spin transition results in a gradual increase of HS1 and LS3 phases while depleting HS2 and LS4, indicating complex phase behavior and sample-dependent characteristics across related iron(II) and
Electron-Transfer-Induced Structural Modification in a Thermochromic Hofmann Clathrate Derivative.

This study explores a Hofmann-type clathrate, {Fe(2,4-(OCH)-bpy)(HO)[μ-Pt(CN)][μ-Pt(CN)]·4HO}, which exhibits a thermally activated electron transfer (ET) without spin crossover. Synthesized as microcrystalline powders and single crystals, this compound reveals significant structural changes upon variation of the temperature, including alterations in the iron coordination sphere due to the large movement of the bipyridinium ligand. These changes correlate with a thermochromic hysteretic transition from yellow to orange.

The bistability of multiple physical properties driven by external stimuli in a solid is a desired prerequisite for its application in memory devices with convenient data readout. We present a pathway for thermal bistability detectable in four physical properties: magnetic, light absorption, second-harmonic generation (SHG), and dielectric. We report a novel heterometallic (TBA){[Fe(phIN)][Re(CN)]} ⋅ (phIN) (1) (TBA=tetrabutylammonium cation, phIN=phenyl isonicotinate) cyanido-bridged chain material.

Dynamic molecules with tunable chemical and physical properties in response to external stimuli hold great potential for applications in various fields such as information storage, smart molecular machines, and biomimetics. Among them, supramolecular springs and spin-crossover (SCO) complexes can both undergo visible macroscopic changes under heat or light stimulation. In this study, we synthesized a unique trinuclear Fe(II)-SCO complex, [(R-L)Fe{Au(CN)}] (R 1), using a chiral chelating ligand decorated with rotatable benzyl rings.
