Modulating magnetic anisotropy in Ln( <scp>iii</scp> ) single-ion magnets using an external electric field
Arup Sarkar, Gopalan Rajaraman
Abstract
Using a combination of theoretical tools, we show that the application of an external electric field in a certain direction can boost the axiality beyond that set by the ligands, opening up a new avenue for the generation of novel SIMs.
