Title: Extremely well isolated two-dimensional spin- 1 2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg layers with a small exchange coupling in the molecular-based magnet CuPOF

Abstract

We report on a comprehensive characterization of the newly synthesized Cu 2 + -based molecular magnet [ Cu ( pz ) 2 ( 2 - HOpy ) 2 ] ( PF 6 ) 2 (CuPOF), where pz = C 4 H 4 N 2 and 2 - HOpy = C 5 H 4 NHO . From a comparison of theoretical modeling to results of bulk magnetometry, specific heat, μ+ SR , ESR, and NMR spectroscopy, this material is determined as an excellent realization of the two dimensional square-lattice S = 1 2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model with a moderate intraplane nearest-neighbor exchange coupling of J / k B = 6.80 ( 5 ) K, and an extremely small interlayer interaction of about 1 mK. At zero field, the bulk magnetometry reveals a temperature-driven crossover of spin correlations from isotropic to X Y type, caused by the presence of a weak intrinsic easy-plane anisotropy. A transition to long-range order, driven by the low-temperature X Y anisotropy under the influence of the interlayer coupling, occurs at T N = 1.38 ( 2 ) K, as revealed by μ+ SR . In applied magnetic fields, our H 1 -NMR data reveal a strong increase of the magnetic anisotropy, manifested by a pronounced enhancement of the transition temperature to commensurate long-range order at T N = 2.8 K and 7 T.
