Abstract
Methyl Viologen is a kind of organic molecular magnet of current interest which comprises with organic radicals (unpaired electrons). The molecular formula of the sample is (C12H14N2)2+X2-, where ¡§X2-¡¨ denotes a non-magnetic anion (CdI42-, I3-I- etc.). We perform the magnetization (using SQUID magnetometer) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements. Two absorption peaks are observed in EPR spectrum indicating that there are two radical forms in our samples. One of the radicals exists in every sample having the g1-factor value 2.004. The other radical which has the g2-factor 2.001 exists only in certain samples. Interestingly, we find that these samples exhibit ferromagnetism at room temperature. We use Lorentzian profile to quantitatively analyze the EPR spectrum of the samples and derive the ratio (A2/A1) of two different absorption peaks, which represents the amount of g2 radical. The remanent magnetization and saturation magnetization are found to increase as the ratio value increases, indicating that the strength of ferromagnetism is strongly correlated with g2 radical.
