A Single-Chain Magnet Formed by a Twisted Arrangement of Ions with Easy-Plane Magnetic Anisotropy

Abstract
A unique “single-chain quantum magnet” was formed by an alternating arrangement of high-spin FeII/low-spin FeIII ions. Although the predominant spin-carrier components (high-spin FeII) possess easy-plane magnetic anisotropy (D > 0), twisted arrangement of easy-planes along the chain axis defines a novel class of one-dimensional Ising system.
