Abstract

We report clean evaporation under ultra-high vacuum conditions of two spin crossover materials, yielding either microcrystallites or homogeneous thin films. Magnetic and photomagnetic studies show that thermal and light-induced spin crossover properties are preserved. Preliminary STM imaging of sub-monolayers indicates that the deposited molecules remain intact on the surface.
