Organic Chiral Charge Transfer Magnets

Abstract

In this work, through designing organic helix donor-acceptor complexes, one type of room-temperature chiral magnet was reported. Within these chiral charge transfer magnets, circularly polarized light could induce a larger saturation magnetization compared to linearly polarized light illumination with identical intensity. Moreover, the transmission light polarization from chiral magnets could be tuned via applying the magnetic field. Overall, room-temperature organic chiral magnets with optomagnetic effects will enhance the function of organic magnetochiral materials.
