Low temperature magnetic properties were investigated on the gold nano particles (GNP) with an average size of 11.5 nm, assembled with molecules of ruthenium complex (Ru0) and phenylboronic acid (B0) by the proton nuclear resonance (1H-NMR) and susceptibility measurements. The temperature dependence of the NMR shift and the uniform susceptibility was described as the sum of the Curie-Weiss term and a positive constant term. From the former, the average number of Ru0 on each GNP was estimated to be 118, which is 23 % of the calculation. The finite positive constant term shows a clear contrast with the well-known fact that the bulk gold is diamagnetic. Finally, a disappearance of the motional narrowing effect in the proton NMR spectra below 60 K indicates that the wavering motion of Ru0 complexes on GNP at room temperature is frozen at low temperatures.

We study the magnetic properties of nanometer-sized graphene structures with triangular and hexagonal shapes terminated by zig-zag edges. We discuss how the shape of the island, the imbalance in the number of atoms belonging to the two graphene sublattices, the existence of zero-energy states, and the total and local magnetic moment are intimately related. We consider electronic interactions both in a mean-field approximation of the one-orbital Hubbard model and with density functional calculations. Both descriptions yield values for the ground state total spin, $S$, consistent with Liebs theorem for bipartite lattices. Triangles have a finite $S$ for all sizes whereas hexagons have S=0 and develop local moments above a critical size of $approx 1.5$ nm.
The magnetic properties of platinum nano-particles ranging in size from a few to up 300 atoms are investigated through first-principle calculations. It is found that the total magnetization depends strongly on the local atomic rearrangements, with an enhancement around five-fold axis. This is due to an elongation of the nearest neighbor distance together with a contraction of the 2$^{nd}$ distance, resulting in a net interatomic partial charge transfer from the atoms lying on the sub-surface layer (donor) towards the vertexes (acceptor).
The ground state properties of correlated electron systems can be extraordinarily sensitive to external stimuli, such as temperature, strain, and electromagnetic fields, offering abundant platforms for functional materials. We present a metastable and reversible photoinduced ferromagnetic transition in strained films of the doped manganite La(2/3)Ca(1/3)MnO3. Using the novel multi-messenger combination of atomic force microscopy, cryogenic scanning near-field optical microscopy, magnetic force microscopy, and ultrafast laser excitation, we demonstrate both writing and erasing of a metastable ferromagnetic metal phase with nanometer-resolved finesse. By tracking both optical conductivity and magnetism at the nano-scale, we reveal how spontaneous strain underlies the thermal stability, persistence, and reversal of this photoinduced metal. Our first-principles electronic structure calculations reveal how an epitaxially engineered Jahn-Teller distortion can stabilize nearly degenerate antiferromagnetic insulator and ferromagnetic metal phases. We propose a Ginzburg-Landau description to rationalize the co-active interplay of strain, lattice distortion, and magnetism we resolve in strained LCMO, thus guiding future functional engineering of epitaxial oxides like manganites into the regime of phase-programmable materials.
Using density functional theory combined with nonequilibrium Greens function method, the transport properties of borophene-based nano gas sensors with gold electrodes are calculated, and comprehensive understandings regarding the effects of gas molecules, MoS$_2$ substrate and gold electrodes to the transport properties of borophene are made. Results show that borophene-based sensors can be used to detect and distinguish CO, NO, NO$_2$ and NH$_3$ gas molecules, MoS$_2$ substrate leads to a non-linear behavior on the current-voltage characteristic, and gold electrodes provide charges to borophene and form a potential barrier, which reduced the current values compared to the current of the systems without gold electrodes. Our studies not only provide useful information on the computationally design of borophene-based gas sensors, but also help understand the transport behaviors and underlying physics of 2D metallic materials with metal electrodes.
Using calculations from first principles, we herein consider the bond made between thiolat e with a range of different Au clusters, with a particular focus on the spin moments inv olved in each case. For odd number of gold atoms, the clusters show a spin moment of 1.~ $mu_B$. The variation of spin moment with particle size is particularly dramatic, with t he spin moment being zero for even numbers of gold atoms. This variation may be linked w ith changes in the odd-even oscillations that occur with the number of gold atoms, and is associated with the formation of a S-Au bond. This bond leads to the presence of an extra electron that is mainly sp in character in the gold part. Our results sugg est that any thiolate-induced magnetism that occurs in gold nanoparticles may be locali zed in a shell below the surface, and can be controlled by modifying the coverage of the thiolates.
