Abstract

We studied the impurity effects on the molecular spin ladder, (p-N-ethylpyridinium nitronylnitroxide cation (=p-EPYNN; S=1/2))·(bis(4,5-dithiolato-1,3-dithiole-2-thione) nickelate anion (=[Ni(dmit)2]; S=1/2)), that involved a two-leg spin ladder of [Ni(dmit)2] sandwiched by ferromagnetic chains of p-EPYNN, by making a solid solution system p-EPYNN · [Ni(dmit)2]1-x[Au(dmit)2]x with x≤q 0.5. Doping of the non-magnetic [Au(dmit)2] increases Curie defects in the ladder and results in antiferromagnetic behavior of p-EPYNN. This can be explained by the antiferromagnetic domains on the p-EPYNN chain induced by the spin polarization around the impurity site on the [Ni(dmit)2] spin ladder.
