Abstract

Micro- and nanometer-sized patterns of the spin-crossover compound Fe(pyrazine)[Pt(CN)4] have been fabricated using a combination of lift-off and multilayer sequential assembly methods. These patterns (see figure and inside cover) exhibit a bistability of their electronic states and, thus, represent a novel platform for a wide array of potential applications.
