Single-component molecular material hosting antiferromagnetic and spin-gapped Mott subsystems

Materials Science 2017-03-17 v1

Abstract

We investigated a system based solely on a single molecular species, Cu(tmdt)2_{2}, accommodating dd and π{\pi} orbitals within the molecule. 13^{13}C nuclear magnetic resonance measurements captured singlet-triplet excitations of π{\pi} spins indicating the existence of a π{\pi}-electron-based spin-gapped Mott insulating subsystem, which has been hidden by the large magnetic susceptibility exhibited by the dd spins forming antiferromagnetic chains. The present results demonstrate a unique hybrid Mott insulator composed of antiferromagnetic and spin-singlet Mott subsystems with distinctive dimensionalities.
