Abstract
Using a home-made, anvil pressure-cell mounted to a probe suitable for use with a commercial magnetometer, the photo and thermal responses of the magnetism of CoFe@CrCr-PBA (PBA=Prussian blue analogue) core@shell nanoparticles were studied down to 5K and up to 0.5GPa in 100G. The effect of pressure on the magnetic ordering temperatures of the CoFe-PBA core (≈25K) and the CrCr-PBA shell (≈200K) along with a shift of the relaxation temperature of the photo-CTIST (charge-transfer-induced spin-transition) of the CoFe-PBA core (≈125K), were similar to the behaviors reported for the single-phase materials. Specifically, although the magnetic ordering temperature of the CrCr-PBA shell shifted to higher temperatures, the relaxation temperature of the photo-CTIST of the CoFe-PBA core moved to lower temperatures when the pressure was increased, thereby lowering the temperature range under which the CrCr-PBA component can be photoswitched.
