Interfacial Engineering Enabled the Tunability of Organic Spin Polarization
Organic charge-transfer ferromagnets
have been studied for many
years, and numerous breakthroughs have been made pertaining to them.
However, the mechanism underlying the phenomenon is still unclear.
Herein, we designed organic charge-transfer ferromagnets using different
small molecule acceptors to investigate the key factors determining
ferromagnetic performance. We found that the electron–phonon
(e–p) coupling of the acceptors affects the interfacial interaction,
which in turn changes the strength of ferromagnetism. Under an external
magnetic field, the e–p coupling in the acceptors intensifies,
yielding a weak interfacial spin–dipole interaction. The charge-transfer
ferromagnets exhibited magnetic anisotropy due to the difference in
the spatial structure symmetry of acceptors. Overall, this study deepens
the understanding of interfacial interactions in organic charge-transfer
ferromagnets, providing a new perspective for designing organic ferromagnets

Number and percentage of California RMSF cases where regions of exposure prior to onset could be determined in 20-year reporting blocks, 1980–2019.
Exposure regions are “Northern CA” (California counties north of San Luis Obispo, Kern and San Bernardino Counties; see Fig 4), “Southern CA” (counties not in Northern CA), “US” (any state outside California in the United States) and “Unknown” (travel not specified).</p
Number of RMSF cases (both confirmed and probable) by month of onset, 1980 to 2019, stratified by 20-year reporting blocks.

Flow of case evaluation for inclusion in this analysis.
Case reports retrieved from 1980 to 2019 include all those reported as Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF). Conservative case inclusion criteria were applied as described in methods to focus on those cases most likely to be RMSF. Included in the analysis were 31 confirmed cases and 47 probable cases.</p
