Abstract:The appearance of electrically neutral water molecules in the structure of cobalt dinitrate dihydrate, Co(NO3)2⋅2H2O, drastically changes its magnetic properties as compared to its waterless counterpart, Co(NO3)2. The title compound shows Ising-like behavior reflected in its thermodynamic properties. It experiences long-range antiferromagnetic order at TN = 20.5 K and metamagnetic transition at µ0HC = 0.76 T. First-principles calculations produce the values of leading exchange interactions J1 ~ 10 K and J2 ~ 0… Show more
