GW170817 and GW190425 as Hybrid Stars of Dark and Nuclear Matters

We propose three scenarios for compact hybrid stars composed of nuclear and dark matter. These hybrid stars could provide alternative interpretations to the LIGO/Virgo events GW170817 and GW190425. To demonstrate our proposal, we solve the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff configurations of hybrid stars by using the SLy4, APR4, and SKb equations of state (EoS) for nuclear matter, and an EoS for a bosonic self interacting dark matter (SIDM) proposed by Colpi et al \cite{Colpi:1986ye}. We then obtain their mass-radius and tidal Love number (TLN)-mass relations, and further examine the possible saddle instability of these compact objects by the generalized Bardeen-Thorne-Meltzer (BTM) criteria. Our results show that the hybrid star scenarios are able to explain GW170817 and GW190425. Some hybrid stars can have compact neutron or mixed cores around 10 km while possessing thick dark matter shells, thus they can be more massive than the maximum mass of the typical neutron stars but are electromagnetically detected with about the same size of neutron stars. Reversely, we also infer the dark matter model from the parameter estimation of GW190425. Our proposed hybrid stars can be further tested by the coming LIGO/Virgo O3 events.

F-ion bridged Double-Decker Dysprosium Metallacrown with high-performance Single Molecule Magnet properties

We report here a linear fluoride-bridged Double-Decker Dysprosium metallacrown with high-performance SMM. The successful introduction of stronger magnetic exchange-coupling in the axial direction, which is collinear with the Ising-type magnetic anisotropy axis of dysprosium ions, plays a pivotal role in improving the SMM properties of the double-decker Dysprosium metallacrown.

Rectangle-like hysteresis in a Dysprosium Metallacrown Magnet with Linear F-Dy-F Anisotropic Moiety

Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) exhibiting open hysteresis loops may potentially apply to molecule-based information processing and storage. However, the capacity to retain magnetic memory is always limited by zero-field quantum tunneling of magnetization (QTM). Herein, a well-designed dysprosium metallacrown SMM, consisting of an endohedral approximate linear F-Dy-F strong anisotropic moiety in a peripheral [15-MCNi-5] metallacrown (MC), is reported with the largest reversal barrier of 1060 cm-1 among d-f SMMs. Rectangle-like hysteresis loops are observed with the huge squareness (remanence/saturation magnetization) up to 97% at 2 K. More importantly, zero-field QTM step is phenomenologically removed by minimizing the dipole coupling and hyperfine interactions. The results demonstrate for the first time that zero-field QTM step can be eliminated via manipulating the ligand field and vanishing the external magnetic perturbations, which illuminates a promising blueprint for developing high-performance SMMs.

Field-induced oscillation of magnetization blocking in holmium metallacrown magnet

Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) are promising elements for quantum informatics. In the presence of strong magnetic anisotropy, they exhibit magnetization blocking - a magnetic memory effect at the level of a single molecule. Recent studies have shown that the SMM performance scales with the height of magnetization blocking barrier. By employing molecular engineering this can be significantly modified, remaining independent from other external factors such as magnetic field. Taking advantage of hyperfine coupling of electronic and nuclear spins further enhances their functionality, however, a poor understanding of relaxation mechanisms in such SMMs limits the exploitation of nuclear-spin molecular qubits. Here we report the opening discovery of field-dependent oscillation of the magnetization blocking barrier in a new holmium metallacrown magnet driven by the switch of relaxation mechanisms involving hyperfine interaction. Single-crystal magnetic hysteresis measurements combined with first-principles calculations reveal an activated temperature dependence of magnetic relaxation dominated either by incoherent quantum tunneling of magnetization at anti-crossing points of exchange-hyperfine states or by Orbach-like processes at crossing points. We demonstrate that these relaxation mechanisms can be consecutively switched on and off by increasing the external field, which paves a way for manipulating the magnetization dynamics of SMMs using hyperfine interaction.

Carbonate-Bridged Dinuclear and Trinuclear Dysprosium(III) Single-Molecule Magnets

In 2016, we reported a single-ion magnet [Dy(bbpen)Br] with an energy barrier over 1000 K. Here a dimeric [Dy2(mu-CO3)(bbpen)2(H2O)].H2O.CH3OH (1) and a trimeric [Dy3(mu3-CO3)(bppen)3](CF3SO3).H2O (2) single-molecule magnets (SMMs) were obtained through replacing the Br- anion with the carbonate bridge. Their effective relaxation barriers at zero dc field are decrease to 51 K and 422 K, respectively, which are consist with their structural modifications.
