Tuning the structure and properties of a multiferroic metal–organic-framework via growing under high magnetic fields†
Abstract
High magnetic field-induced synthesis has been demonstrated to tune the structure and properties of the multiferroic metal–organic framework [(CH3)2NH2][Mn(HCOO)3]. The crystals obtained under 90 kOe exhibit a lower ferroelectric polarization value and reduced magnetic susceptibility, compared to crystals obtained without a field, which is attributed to structural changes induced by the high magnetic field.
