Magnetic Properties and Metastable States in Spin-Crossover Transition of Co-Fe Prussian Blue Analogues

TLDR
In this article, the magnetic phase transition of Co-Fe PBA was investigated and the degeneracy changes due to charge transfer between Co and Fe atoms accompanying the spin transition was taken into account.
Abstract
The combination of spin transitions and magnetic ordering provides an interesting structure of phase transitions in Prussian blue analogues (PBAs). To understand the structure of stable and metastable states of Co–Fe PBA, it is necessary to clarify free energy as a function of magnetization and the fraction of the high-temperature component. Including the magnetic interaction between high-temperature states, we study the magnetic phase transition of Co–Fe PBA in addition to spin transitions. Here, we take into account the degeneracy changes due to charge transfer between Co and Fe atoms accompanying the spin transition. In this study, the charge transfer between Co and Fe atoms is explicitly taken into account and also the ferrimagnetic structure of Co–Fe PBAs is expressed in the proper way. First, we found systematic changes in the structures of stable and metastable states as functions of system parameters using mean field theory. In particular, the existence of a metastable magnetic-ordered high-temper...

Phase transition in spin systems with various types of fluctuations

TL;DR: Effects of various mechanisms which bring large fluctuation in the system, e.g., continuous symmetry of the spin in low dimensions, contradictions among interactions, randomness of the lattice, quantum fluctuations, and a long range interaction in off-lattice systems are studied.

Photoinduced Magnetization of a Cobalt-Iron Cyanide

TL;DR: The magnetization in the ferrimagnetic region below 16 kelvin was substantially increased after illumination and could be restored almost to its original level by thermal treatment and these effects are thought to be caused by an internal photochemical redox reaction.
