Abstract:
A novel one-dimensional CoII coordination polymer (OPD)2CoIISO4 was formed from alternating tetrahedral sulphate anions, Co centers and molecules of 1,2-phenylenediamine (OPD). The thermal stability of the structure was confirmed up to ∼230 °C using thermogravimetry and non-ambient powder X-ray diffraction in air. The distorted pseudo-octahedral coordination sphere of CoII ions promotes strong magnetic anisotropy. Therefore (OPD)2CoIISO4 was subjected to thorough characterization with ab initio and DFT calculations along with dc magnetic measurements both of which point to strong easy-axis anisotropy (D/kB≈-87 K, E/kB≈ 23 K). The analysis of ac susceptibility revealed field assisted magnetic relaxation in two field regimes: a low field one with one relaxation time and a high field one where three relaxation times were distinguished. The main role in relaxations of the fastest process (τ1) was attributed to the direct and Raman processes.

What is a Mode?
There can be more than one mode in a data set if multiple values have the same highest frequency. For instance, suppose that the Statistics exam scores of 20 students are: 50; 53; 59; 59; 63; 63; 72; 72; 72; 72; 72; 76; 78; 81; 83; 84; 84; 84; 90; 93. Here, the mode is 72, as it occurs most frequently, five times.
A data set with two modes is called bimodal. For example,...
Equations of Motion: Rectangular Coordinates and Cylindrical Coordinates
When a particle moves relative to an inertial frame, the equations of motion can be expressed using rectangular components. If the motion is confined to the x-y plane, the equations having the x and y coordinates only can be used to simplify the mathematical representation.
However, when particles...
