Article Abstract

Multifunctional materials with switchable magnetic and dielectric properties are crucial for the development of memory and sensor devices. Herein, we report a methoxy-bridged dinuclear iron-pyridyl complex [Fe(4-picoline)(NCS)(μ-OCH)] (), which shows simultaneous thermal-induced magnetic and dielectric switchings. Within the phase-transition temperature range, both magnetic switching and the dielectric anomaly were detected, in which the thermal hysteresis loops were 23 and 21 K, respectively. Detailed structural analyses revealed that these simultaneous switchings were rooted in the flexible rotatable ligands, which were actuated by readjusting the π-π intermolecular interactions between the pyridine ligands in the positions of the metal centers. These results were comprehensively investigated both experimentally and theoretically. This study presents a new guideline to control both the magnetic and dielectric properties of molecular complexes by external stimuli.

In the present work, DFT investigations were carried out to study the effect of doping on the structural, mechanical, and optical properties of a quaternary High Entropy Alloy (HEA), FeCoVNi, with substitution doping of Co and Ni elements by Se. The cubic phase of FeCoVNi transforms into an orthorhombic phase when Co and Ni sites are replaced with Se. The mechanical stability is retained for substitution of Co up to 37.

This paper reports the use of P18-8, a novel conjugated polymer combining poly-(1,4-phenylene-ethynylene) and poly-(1,4-phenylene-vinylene), in the fabrication of an organic diode with the structure ITO/PEDOT:PSS/P18-8/LiF/Al. The electrical properties of the fabricated device were characterized using impedance spectroscopy across a frequency range of 100 Hz to 1 MHz at various applied voltages. The current density-voltage (-) characteristic exhibited ohmic behavior at low applied voltages, while at higher voltages, it conformed to the space charge limited current (SCLC) theory.
