Persistent Photoinduced Magnetism in Heterostructures of Prussian Blue Analogues
Heterostructured ABA thin films consisting of two different Prussian blue analogues, where A is a ferromagnet and B is a photoinducible ferrimagnet, have been fabricated for the first time. This novel arrangement allows the magnetization to be decreased by irradiation with white light and significantly increases the ordering temperature of the photoinduced magnetism from 18 to 75 K.
