Abstract
Magnetic order in the thermally quenched photomagnetic Prussian blue analog coordination polymer KCo[Fe(CN)][DO]1.42DO has been studied down to 4 K with unpolarized and polarized neutron powder diffraction as a function of applied magnetic field. Analysis of the data allows the on-site coherent magnetization of the Co and Fe spins to be established. Specifically, magnetic fields of 1 and 4 T induce moments parallel to the applied field, and the sample behaves as a ferromagnet with a wandering axis.
