Abstract
Reversible photoinduced magnetization was observed in a cobalt iron cy anide thin film. Magnetic properties of the prussian blue analog, log, K0.4Co1.3[Fe(CN)(6)]. 5H(2)O, can be switched between ferrimagnetic a nd paramagnetic by visible and near-IR light illumination. The critica l temperature after illumination was about 26 K. This material, obtain ed via an electrochemical route in the form of thin films on an electr ode, provides a new system whose magnetic properties can be controlled by both photochemical and electrochemical redox reactions.
