Designing functional materials is one of the important goals of materials research. One of the route towards achieving this goal involves using organic groups to synthesize wide variety of compounds with intriguing properties. Metal-organic framework is a class of compounds where organic groups are used in combination with transition metal ions to obtain multifunctional materials. Recently, it has been demonstrated that the family of compounds [(CH₃)₂NH₂]M(HCOO)₃ (with M=Ni,Mn,Co and Fe) exhibit multiferroic properties [1]. Therefore, several efforts have been made to understand the nature and strength of exchange interactions in these materials [2]. To obtain more information about the interplay between the spin, charge and lattice degrees of freedom, we performed magneto-Raman spectroscopy on [(CH3)₂NH₂]Co(HCOO)₃ at magnetic fields up to 15 T. In this poster, I will discuss the main results of our investigations and its potential functionality.
