Interplay of magnetic coupling and anisotropy of Ho3N@C80 endohedral fullerenes on ferromagnetic substrates — •Matthias Bernien1, Fabian Nickel1, Jorge Miguel1, Lucas M.

Magnetic endohedral fullerenes are promising candidates for a future molecular spintronics provided one can gain external control over their encapsulated magnetic moments. In Ho3N@C80 three Ho ions are coupled together with a non-collinear alignment of their magnetic moments. Each of the Ho3+ ions has a magnetic moment of 10 µB and strong magnetic anisotropy. We use field- and angle-dependent X-ray absorption and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements at a temperature of T=4.5 K and an applied magnetic field up to B=6 T to investigate the magnetic properties of submonolayers of Ho3N@C80 adsorbed on ferromagnetic Ni and Co films. We find that the net moment of Ho3N@C80 couples ferromagnetically to Ni but antiferromagnetically to Co substrates. Both of these couplings to the substrate can be explained by an indirect exchange mechanism mediated by the carbon cage.
