Abstract

Room temperature isothermal reversible spin crossover switching of [Fe(H₂B(pz)₂)₂(bipy)] thin films is demonstrated. The magnetic oxide substrate locks the [Fe{H₂B(pz)₂}₂(bipy)] largely in a low spin state. With an X-ray fluence, excitation to a high spin state occurs, while relaxation back to low spin state is aided by alternating the substrate magnetization.
