Spin-state smectics in spin crossover materials
J. Cruddas, G. Ruzzi, B. J. Powell
We show that a simple two dimensional model of spin crossover materials gives rise to spin-state smectic phases where the pattern of high-spin (HS) and low-spin (LS) metal centers…

Structure-property relationships and the mechanisms of multistep transitions in spin crossover materials and frameworks
Jace Cruddas, B. J. Powell
Spin crossover frameworks and molecular crystals display fascinating collective behaviours. This includes multi-step transitions with hysteresis and a wide variety of long-range or…

Spin-state ice in geometrically frustrated spin-crossover materials
Jace Cruddas, B. J. Powell
Spin crossover materials contain metal ions that can access two spin-states: one low-spin (LS), the other high-spin (HS). We propose that frustrated elastic interactions can give r…
