Powder diffraction on a prominent single-ion magnet to gain access to molecular magnetic anisotropy
In this proposal, we suggest using a novel approach for retrieving the magnetic anisotropy of a single-ion magnet (SIM) from a magnetic powder diffraction measurement. Magnetic anisotropy is a quantity at the heart of molecular magnetism, providing important clues about magneto-structural correlations in SIMs, but its experimental recovery is hindered by the fact that only diffraction techniques are generally applicable to all compounds. The step forward from performing the experiment on single-crystals, a technique which is already well-established from experiments at both the LLB (France) and the HFIR (US) is therefore an important one, with the powder approach shown to be possible in a recent benchmark experiment. We now suggest to perform this powder diffraction experiment on a prominent Dy(III)-based compound that was the first example in a range of compounds that show molecular magnetic hysteresis close to the current record-high temperature of 80 K. The successful completion of the proposed experiment and the promise of obtaining experimental knowledge about magnetic anisotropy from a powder measurement is therefore sure to make a substantial impact in the SIM-community
