Magneto-elastic coupling in multiferroic metal-organic framework [(CH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>NH<sub>2</sub>]Co(HCOO)<sub>3</sub>

ORAL

Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of nanoporous compounds where organic groups are used in combination with transition metal ions to obtain multifunctional materials. The family of MOFs comprised of methylammonum (A= (CH3)2NH2) and metal (B=Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni) cations with a formate (X=HCOO3) anion are very interesting because of their multiferroic properties [1]. Therefore, several efforts have been made to understand the exchange interactions in these materials including magnetization at magnetic fields up to 60 T and infrared spectroscopy at fields up to 35 T [2,3]. Concurrently, we performed Raman spectroscopy on [(CH3)2NH2]Co(HCOO)3 at magnetic fields up to 31T to probe the magneto-elastic coupling. Also, the effect of hydrostatic pressure on the magnetic-elastic coupling in this system was explored. We will discuss our investigations and its implications.
