Crystals of the title dysprosium tin sulfide oxide, Dy(8)SnS(13)S(1-x)O(x) [x = 0.39 (4)], were obtained unintentionally from the Dy-Sn-S system. A statistical mixture of sulfur and oxygen was assumed for one position in the structure. S and O atoms surround each of the eight symmetrically non-equivalent dysprosium atoms. The Sn atoms are located in tetra-hedral surroundings of sulfur atoms. Tr...

Radio-frequency electric-dipole transitions between nearly degenerate, opposite parity levels of atomic dysprosium (Dy) were monitored over an eight-month period to search for a variation in the fine-structure constant, α. The data provide a rate of fractional temporal variation of α of (−2.4±2.3)×10 −15 yr −1 or a value of (−7.8 ± 5.9) × 10 −6 for kα, the variation coefficient for α in a chang...

Graphene based spintronic devices require an understanding of the growth of magnetic metals. Rare earth metals have large bulk magnetic moments so they are good candidates for such applications, and it is important to identify their growth mode. Dysprosium was deposited on epitaxial graphene, prepared by thermally annealing 6H-SiC(0001). The majority of the grown islands have triangular instead...

The association of a carbon-rich ruthenium complex with an anisotropic dysprosium ion leads to a unique complex showing SMM behaviour with multiple relaxation processes.

Surface alloys are a highly tunable class of low dimensional materials with the opportunity to tune and control spin charge carrier functionalities on nanoscale. Here, we focus atomic mesoscopic structural details three distinctive binary rare-earth-noble metals (RE/NM) surface by employing scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) energy electron diffraction (LEED). Using Dysprosium as guest element...

Utilization of the strong electron-withdrawing ligand, hfac, leads to a novel dinuclear dysprosium single-molecule magnet featuring a pyrazine bridge with a large anisotropic barrier.

We show the synthesis of three new dysprosium(iii)-carbamato complexes and describe their structures magnetic properties through X-ray diffraction SQUID measurements.

Over 8 months, we monitored transition frequencies between nearly degenerate, opposite-parity levels in two isotopes of atomic dysprosium (Dy). These frequencies are sensitive to variation of the fine-structure constant (alpha) due to relativistic corrections of opposite sign for the opposite-parity levels. In this unique system, in contrast to atomic-clock comparisons, the difference of the el...

A novel ferromagnetic 1D dysprosium chain was synthesized. It exhibits slow magnetic relaxation, originating from the single-ion behaviour of Dy(3+) as indicated by dc and ac magnetic data of both diluted and un-diluted samples.
