MKMatthieu KermarrecRHRaja HalouiCGCarlos J. Gómez Garcia

Key Points

  • This research aims to investigate the coupling between magnetic, mechanical, and optical properties in a soft nanocomposite material.
  • Developed a multifunctional soft nanocomposite consisting of spin crossover nanoparticles.
  • Embedded 90 nm nanoparticles in a hydrated sodium polystyrene sulfonate matrix.
  • Examined the interaction between hysteretic spin crossover and other material properties.
  • Demonstrated that the soft nanocomposite exhibits unique coupling between its three properties.
  • Observed significant changes in magnetic and optical characteristics related to spin state transitions.
  • Validated the potential for practical applications due to multifunctionality and enhanced properties.

Abstract

We report the development of a multifunctional soft nanocomposite, Fe(NH₂trz)₃Cl₂/NaPSS·50H₂O ( 1 ), composed of 90 nm spin crossover (SCO) nanoparticles embedded in a hydrated sodium polystyrene sulfonate (NaPSS) matrix. This material...
