Abstract

Many applications of molecule based magnets, whether they are in information storage, displays, or as components in electronic or spintronic devices, will require putting the active materials on a surface or interfacing them with other components. Although there are many examples of molecule-based magnets, the families of tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) based magnets and Prussian-blue analogs possess materials properties that are close to those required for practical applications, and are the most advanced with respect to studies as thin films. This critical review focuses on fabrication and characterization of thin films of TCNE and Prussian-blue analog coordination polymer magnets. Emphasis is on current developments in thin film heterostructures and potential spintronics applications (135 references).
