Supramolecular Interactions Involved in the Solid State Structure of N,N\u27-[bis(pyridin-2-yl)formylidene]ethane-1,2-diamine

The structure of the symmetrical Schiff base, N,N\u27-[bis(pyridin-2-yl)formylidene]ethane-1,2-diamine (bpfd) has been characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The non-covalent supramolecular chemistry involved in the crystal structure of this ligand has been carefully investigated. The structure adopted different motifs of nitrogen-hydrogen interactions that led to the formation of centrosymmetric dimers. In addition, edge-edge and face-face nitrogen-nitrogen interactions were ob-served and reported. The Schiff base (bpfd) ligand crystallizes in a monoclinic space group C12/c1 with a = 19.128(2) Å; b = 5.8776(6) Å; c = 13.1403(15) Å; α = 90o; β = 121.970o(4); γ = 90o and z = 4. This structure is an example of compounds with many symmetry-independent molecules in the asymmetric unit cell (Z > 2)

Crystalline Field Effects on Magnetic and Thermodynamic properties of a Ferrimagnetic Centered Rectangular Structure

The magnetic properties and phase diagrams of the mixed spin Ising model, with spins S=1 and {\sigma}=1/2 on a centered rectangular structure, have been investigated using Monte Carlo simulations based on the Metropolis algorithm. Every spin at one lattice site has four nearest-neighbor spins of the same type and four of the other type. We have assumed ferromagnetic interaction between the same spins type, antiferromagnetic for different spin types. An additional single-site crystal field term on the S=1 site was considered. We have shown that the crystal field enhances the existence of the compensation behavior of the system. In addition, the effects of the crystal field and exchange coupling on the magnetic properties and phase diagrams of the system have been studied. Finally, the magnetic hysteresis cycles of the system for several values of the crystal field have been found.Comment: 19 pages, 12 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2012.1092

Sensitive detection schemes for small variations in the damping coefficient based on the Duffing-Holmes oscillator with a potential application in magnetic sensing

In this work we proposed two detection schemes based on the non-linear properties of the Duffing-Holmes oscillator for the detection of small variations in the damping coefficient. Theoretically, variations in the damping coefficient up to 0.001% with the possibility to be pushed further can be detected based on our model. A potential on-off magnetic sensor suitable for biomedical applications is suggested by implementing these two schemes with Giant Magnetoresistance based magnetic sensors
