Fluorescence yield dependence on external magnetic field (0-600 G) was measured for chlorophyll-protein complexes enriched with Photosystem I. Maximal relative changes of fluorescence yield at room temperature (1.0-2.5%) were dependent on the chlorphyll a:P-700 ratio. Magnetic field-induced changes were observed only in the presence of dithionite. At low temperatures (down to -160 degrees C) the magnetic field-induced effect decreased. The effect is obviously connected with the functions of reaction centers in Photosystem I. An explanation of the effect is proposed based on the hypothesis of radical pairs recombination within the reaction center. For the radical pair (P-700+. A-.), an intermediate acceptor, A-., with a g-value approximately equal to that of P-700+. is proposed.

Department of Applied Physics and Chemical Engineering, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, Koganei, Tokyo, 184-8588, Japan.

We report the synthesis, crystal structure, and magnetic properties of a new Kitaev honeycomb cobaltate, KCoAsO, which crystallizes in two distinct forms: P2/c and R[Formula: see text] space groups. Magnetic measurements reveal ordering temperatures of ~ 14 K for the P2/c structure and ~ 10.5 K for the R[Formula: see text] structure.

Antiferromagnets with broken time-reversal ( ) symmetry ( -odd antiferromagnets) have gained extensive attention, mainly due to their ferromagnet-like behavior despite the absence of net magnetization. However, certain types of -odd antiferromagnets remain inaccessible by the typical ferromagnet-like phenomena (e.g.

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)].

Below a critical temperature [Formula: see text], superconductors transport electrical charge without dissipative energy losses. The application of a magnetic field [Formula: see text] generally acts to suppress [Formula: see text], up to some critical field strength at which [Formula: see text] 0 K. Here, we investigate magnetic field-induced superconductivity in high-quality specimens of the triplet superconductor candidate UTe[Formula: see text] in pulsed magnetic fields up to [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] 70 T.
