Y. Ajiro et al., mu Sr study of 1 : 1 complex of bis(hexafluoroacetylacetonate) manganese (II) with diazodi(4-pyridyl)methan as a photo-responsible magnetic coupler, MOLEC CRYST, 343, 2000, pp. 421-426
We apply muon spin relaxation (mu SR) technique to study the magnetic behav
iors of the photosensitive molecular magnet, 1:1 complexes of bis(hexafluor
oacetylacetonate) manganese(II). {Mn(hfac)2} with diazodi(4-pyridyl)methane
as a photoresponsible magnetic coupler. The mu SR time spectra have been c
ollected before and after laser irradiation as a function of temperature fr
om 290 K to 10 K and as a function of irradiation time during 30 hours. Whi
le we are not successful in detecting meaningful effects of irradiation at
the present stage, we discuss potential usability of mu SR technique to rev
eal the expected unconventional feature of the photo-induced magnetic order
