Figure 5: Magnetoresistance measurements of nanotubes hosting Mn12Ac SMM.
From: Encapsulation of single-molecule magnets in carbon nanotubes
(a) Magnetoresistance of Mn12Ac@GMWNT (1) and the control sample of empty (open and short) GMWNT (3) at 2 K with magnetic field (H) either perpendicular (θ=0°) or parallel (θ=90°) to the conducting layers. (b) Low field region of the magnetoresistance measurements on the logarithmic scale. (c) Schematic representation of the device used for magnetoresistance measurements. Inset: schematic representation of the preferential alignment of Mn12Ac molecules in the internal cavity of nanotube with respect to the magnetic field.
