Exploration of the slow relaxation behavior in the manganese phosphate network

Abstract

Our endeavors are devoted to the explanation of the nature of the magnetic relaxation phenomena in the herein prepared [Mn^II₅(HPO₄)₂(PO₄)₂(H₂O)₄]_n (1). The behavior investigation indicates the prominence of the half-occupied magnetic centers and the competence of the antiferromagnetic interactions and non-zero magnetic moments. The investigation suggests that the design and synthesis of unusual magnetic center materials with innate unquenched magnetic moments could provide a new route for the production of molecular magnets with magnetic relaxation.
