TL;DR: Numerical simulations using an electro-elastic model for the spin transition in core-shell particles supports the findings, demonstrating how coupling of the core to the shell changes the elastic properties of the system.

TL;DR: A series of new mercury(II) azine Schiff base complexes have been synthesized and characterized from the initial use of phenyl-2-pyridyl ketone azine in Hg II chemistry as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Targeted linkage of these SMMs has now been achieved for the first time, and the resulting chain structures have been confirmed crystallographically and the magnetic properties, up to 1.14 GPa, and high-field electron paramagnetic resonance spectra have been collected and analyzed.

TL;DR: Isothermal magnetization minor hysteresis loop studies at 5 K show light absorption leads to changes in the local anisotropy of NiCr-PBA magnetic domains, providing direct evidence for a general magnetomechanical mechanism of light-switchable magnetism in coordination polymer heterostructures combining a photoactive material with a magnet.

TL;DR: Spin transition heterostructures have shown promise for inducing large switchable stresses at the nanoscale with a volumetric work density similar to piezoelectrics, but before practical applicatio...
