A Dy-based single ion magnet in a SrLaGaO4 matrix: enhanced parameters in an expanded crystal lattice

Dalton Trans. 2023 Dec 5;52(47):17747-17751. doi: 10.1039/d3dt03387b.

Abstract

Dy3+ doped SrLaGaO4 exhibits unusually slow relaxation of magnetization determined by two widely separated excited Kramers doublets with a second remagnetization energy barrier of 223 cm-1. This value considerably exceeds that for analogous Ca(Y,Dy)AlO4 in spite of the apparently enlarged Dy3+ coordination sphere.
