A square antiprism dysprosium single-ion magnet with an energy barrier over 900 K†
Abstract
Herein we report a stable and high-performance Dy(III) single-ion magnet (SIM) showing an energy barrier of 944 K under zero dc field, with an open hysteresis loop up to 6 K. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest energy barrier for a square antiprism as well as phosphine oxide based Dy-SIMs, reported so far.
