Magnetic properties of a staggered $S=1$ chain Ni(pym)(H${}_2$O)${}_2$(NO${}_3$)${}_2$ with an alternating single-ion anisotropy direction

Materials composed of spin-1 antiferromagnetic (AFM) chains are known to adopt complex ground states which are sensitive to the single-ion-anisotropy (SIA) energy ($D$), and intrac…
