title: Thin-film deposition of an organic magnet based on vanadium methyl tricyanoethylenecarboxylate.
abstract: The preparation and characterization of a new thin-film organic-based magnet V[MeTCEC]x (V = vanadium; MeTCEC = methyl tricaynoethylenecarboxylate) via low-temperature chemical vapor deposition (50 °C) is reported. These thin films exhibit room-temperature magnetic ordering and semiconducting behavior, demonstrating the ability of tuning their magnetic, and potentially spintronic, functionality via chemical modification of the organic ligand.
