Magneto-Optical Properties of Electrodeposited Thin Films of the Molecule-Based Magnet Cr5.5(CN)12·11.5H2O

Electrodeposited thin films of the molecule‐based magnet Cr5.5(CN)12·11.5H2O exhibit a magneto‐optical Kerr effect (MOKE) with large coercive fields at 200 K. As the thickness of the films is reduced to the nanometer scale, the particle size decreases and the magneto‐optical hysteresis becomes relat...

Description
Summary:Electrodeposited thin films of the molecule‐based magnet Cr5.5(CN)12·11.5H2O exhibit a magneto‐optical Kerr effect (MOKE) with large coercive fields at 200 K. As the thickness of the films is reduced to the nanometer scale, the particle size decreases and the magneto‐optical hysteresis becomes relatively large.
