Strong antiferromagnetic exchange between manganese phthalocyanine and ferromagnetic europium oxide

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Aug 21;51(65):12958-61. doi: 10.1039/c5cc01823d.

Abstract

We report on the antiferromagnetic exchange coupling between a submonolayer of Mn(II)-phthalocyanine molecules and a ferromagnetic Eu(II)-oxide thin film. The exchange energy is larger by nearly two orders of magnitude compared to previous studies involving oxidic substrates.
