Abstract

Magneto-hydrodynamic generation of long-lived collective spin states and their impact on crystal morphology is demonstrated for three different, technologically relevant materials: COK-16 metal organic framework, manganese oxide nanotubes, and vanadium oxide nano-scrolls.

Keywords: electron spin coupling; magneto-hydrodynamic synthesis; material synthesis; paramagnetic ions; weak magnetic field.
