Abstract

Magnetic order in the thermally quenched photomagnetic Prussian blue analog coordination polymer K 0.27Co[Fe(CN) 6] 0.73[D 2O 6] 0.27•1.42D 2O 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.
