Ternary molecular switching in a single-crystal optical actuator with correlated crystal strain

A growing portfolio of single-crystal optical actuators is forging a new class of photonic materials that hold prospects for quantum technologies. Ruthenium-based complexes that exhibit this phenomenon via SO 2 -linkage photoisomerisation are of particular interest since they display multiple metastable states, once induced by green light; yet, complete photoconversion into each SO 2 -isomeric state is rarely achieved. We discover a new complex, trans-[Ru(SO 2 )(NH 3 ) 4 (4-bromopyridine)]tosylate 2 , that produces 100% photoconverted η 1 -OSO isomeric crystal structures at 90 K, which fully transition into η 2 -(OS)O photoisomers upon warming to 100 K, while the dark-state η 1 -SO 2 structure is wholly recovered by heating the crystal to room temperature. Crystal structures and optical-absorption profiles of each state are captured via in-situ light-induced single-crystal X-ray diffraction and optical-absorption spectroscopy. Results show that both photoisomeric species behave as optical switches, but with distinct optical properties. The photoisomerisation process causes thermally-reversible micro- and nanoscopic crystal strain, as characterised by optical microscopy and in-situ light-induced atomic-force microscopy.

Altermagnetic behavior in OsO2: Parallels with RuO2

This dataset contains input and output files from DFT simulations used to reproduce the electronic and phonon band structures of bulk OsO₂ and RuO₂. The files include data from initial electronic structure and phonon calculations performed with Hubbard-U correction (i.e., Antiferromagnetic, AFM) and without Hubbard-U correction (i.e., Non-magnetic, NM). The electronic structure calculations are provided both with and without spin-orbit coupling (SOC). The computed electronic properties are compared with existing literature, while the calculated phonon density of states (PhDOS) is compared with experimental PhDOS.

Lattice structure and dynamics of sparse molecular crystals: OsO4 and RuO4

This dataset contains input and output files from DFT simulations used to reproduce the electronic and phonon calculations of bulk and molecular OsO₄ and RuO₄. The files include data from initial electronic structure and phonon calculations performed using different functionals: PBE, PBEsol, and vdW-DF-optB86b. The computed phonon frequencies are compared with Raman crystal and gas-phase frequencies from existing literature, while the calculated phonon density of states (PhDOS) is compared with experimental PhDOS data.
