2-D spin crossover materials at the nanometric scale: the effects of the size-reduction on the magnetic properties

Abstract

Spin Crossover (SCO) particles at the nanometric scale provide an alternative point of view and a new perspective concerning the development of a new generation of spintronic, electronic, photonic and mechanical devices. The coexistence of the SCO phenomenon with the accompanying hysteresis loop enhances the functionality of future devices for storing and processing information. Despite all promising facts, the SCO phenomena are greatly affected by cooperativity issues resulting in a direct relation between the decrease of the size of nanopatricle and the overall decrease of cooperativity towards more gradual spin transitions. This minireview aims to summarise the synthetic techniques for the synthesis of 2-D FeII SCO particles at the nanometric scale, an underexplored area of research, highlighting the effects of the size-reduction on the magnetic properties of the corresponding nanoparticles and hopefuly showcasing the importance of studying in the context of 2D limit the SCO phenomena.
