Title: Structure–Property Relations in Multiferroic [(CH ₃) ₂NH ₂]M(HCOO) ₃ (M = Mn, Co, Ni)

Abstract

In this paper, we bring together magnetization, infrared spectroscopy, and lattice dynamics calculations to uncover the magnetic field-temperature (B-T) phase diagrams and vibrational properties of the [(CH ₃) ₂NH ₂]M(HCOO) ₃ (M = Mn ²⁺, Co ²⁺, Ni ²⁺) family of multiferroics. While the magnetically driven transition to the fully saturated state in [(CH ₃) ₂NH ₂]Mn(HCOO) ₃ takes place at 15.3 T, substitution with Ni or Co drives the critical fields up toward 100 T, an unexpectedly high energy scale for these compounds. Analysis of the infrared spectrum of the Mn and Ni compounds across T _C reveals doublet splitting of the formate bending mode which functions as an order parameter of the ferroelectric transition. By contrast, [(CH ₃) ₂NH ₂]Co(HCOO) ₃ reveals a surprising framework rigidity across the order-disorder transition due to modest distortions around the Co ²⁺ centers. The transition to the ferroelectric state is thus driven by the dimethylammonium cation freezing and the resulting hydrogen bonding. Under applied field, the Mn (and most likely, the Ni) compounds engage the formate bending mode to facilitate the transition to their fully saturated magnetic states, whereas the Co complex adopts a different mechanism involving formate stretching distortions to lowermore »« less

Structural, magnetic and phonon properties of Cr(III)-doped perovskite metal formate framework [(CH{sub 3}){sub 2}NH{sub 2}][Mn(HCOO){sub 3}]

Journal Article Mączka, Mirosław ; Gągor, Anna ; Hermanowicz, Krzysztof ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

We have incorporated Cr(III) into [(CH{sub 3}){sub 2}NH{sub 2}][Mn(HCOO){sub 3}] (DMMn) multiferroic metal organic framework (MOF). The highest concentration of Cr(III) in the synthesized samples reached 15.9 mol%. The obtained samples were characterized by powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, DSC, magnetic susceptibility, dielectric, EPR, Raman and IR methods. These methods and the performed chemical analysis revealed that electrical charge neutrality after substitution of Cr(III) for Mn(II) is maintained by partial replacement of dimethylammonium (DMA{sup +}) cations by neutral HCOOH molecules. These changes in the chemical composition are responsible for weakening of the hydrogen bonds and decreased flexibility of the framework.more »« less

Magnetic field-temperature phase diagram of multiferroic $[{({CH}_{3})}_{2} {NH}_{2}] Mn {(HCOO)}_{3}$

Journal Article Clune, A. J. ; Hughey, K. D. ; Lee, C. ; ... - Physical Review B

We combined here pulsed field magnetization and first-principles spin-density calculations to reveal the magnetic field-temperature phase diagram and spin state character in multiferroic $$[{({\mathrm{CH}}_{3})}_{2}{\mathrm{NH}}_{2}]\mathrm{Mn}{(\mathrm{HCOO})}_{3}$$. Despite similarities with the rare earth manganites, the phase diagram is analogous to other Mn-based quantum magnets with a 0.31 T spin flop, a 15.3 T transition to the fully polarized state, and short-range correlations that persist above the ordering temperature. The experimentally accessible saturation field opens the door to exploration of the high-field phase.

Multiferroic behavior associated with an order-disorder hydrogen bonding transition in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with the perovskite ABX{sub 3} arhitecture.

Journal Article Jain, P ; Ramachandran, V ; Clark, R J ; ... - J. Am. Chem. Soc.

Multiferroic behavior in perovskite-related metal-organic frameworks of general formula [(CH{sub 3}){sub 2}NH{sub 2}]M(HCOO){sub 3}, where M = Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni, is reported. All four compounds exhibit paraelectric-antiferroelectric phase transition behavior in the temperature range 160-185 K (Mn: 185 K, Fe: 160 K; Co: 165 K; Ni: 180 K); this is associated with an order-disorder transition involving the hydrogen bonded dimethylammonium cations. On further cooling, the compounds become canted weak ferromagnets below 40 K. This research opens up a new class of multiferroics in which the electrical ordering is achieved by means of hydrogen bonding.

Synthesis, crystal growth, structural and magnetic characterization of NH{sub 4}MCl{sub 2}(HCOO), M=(Fe, Co, Ni)

Journal Article Greenfield, Joshua T. ; Ovidiu Garlea, V. ; Kamali, Saeed ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

An ambient-pressure solution route and an improved solvothermal synthetic method have been developed to produce polycrystalline powders and large single crystals of NH{sub 4}MCl{sub 2}(HCOO) (M=Fe, Co, Ni). The magnetic structure of the 1D linear chain compound NH{sub 4}FeCl{sub 2}(HCOO) has been determined by low-temperature neutron powder diffraction, revealing ferromagnetic intra-chain interactions and antiferromagnetic inter-chain interactions. The newly-reported Co and Ni analogs are isostructural with NH{sub 4}FeCl{sub 2}(HCOO), but there are significant differences in the magnetic properties of each compound; the Ni analog behaves similarly to the Fe compound but with stronger magnetic coupling, exhibiting antiferromagnetic ordering (T{sub N}=8.5 K)more »« less
