title: Magnetic memory based on magnetic alignment of a paramagnetic ionic liquid near room temperature.
abstract: A paramagnetic ferrocenium-based ionic liquid that exhibits a magnetic memory effect coupled with a liquid-solid phase transformation has been developed. Based on field alignment of the magnetically anisotropic ferrocenium cation, the magnetic susceptibility in the solid state can be tuned by the weak magnetic fields (<1 T) of permanent magnets.
