<div>The electronic and magnetic properties of polyacenes become quite fascinating as the number of linearly conjugated benzene rings increases. Higher-order conjugated polyacenes develop radicaloid characters due to the transition of electronic structures from closed-shell to the open-shell system. Here we have investigated the role of such polyacenes as the magnetic coupler when placed between the two spin-sources based on nitroxy radicals. To do so, the magnetic exchange interactions (<i>2J</i>) are computed employing electronic structure theories, i.e. broken-symmetry (BS) approach within the density functional theory (DFT) as well as symmetry-adopted wave function based multi-configurational methods. In the former approach, various genre of exchange-correlation (XC) functionals such as generalized gradient approximation (GGA), meta-GGA, hybrid functional, constrained spin density (i.e. CDFT) and on-site Coulomb correlation corrected GGA+<i>U</i> functionals are adopted. All DFT based calculations estimate an exponential increase in <i>2J</i> values with the length of the couplers, especially for the higher-order acenes. This is indeed an unexpected observation and also there is no experimental report available in support of the DFT calculations. The complexity in the electronic structure enhances with the increasing number of benzene rings due to an increase in near-degenerate or quasi-degenerate molecular orbitals (MOs) and also the reduction of the energy gap with the low-lying excited states. Consequently, it invokes a severe challenge in the computations of the magnetic exchange interactions in DFT. As an alternative approach, the wave function based multi-reference calculations, e.g. CASSCF/NEVPT2 methods are also adopted. In the later calculations, it has been realized that the π-orbitals of the couplers play a crucial role in the exchange interactions. For larger polyacenes (i.e. hexacene to decacene) such calculations become prohibitively expensive and rigorous as the number of π-orbitals increases, thus expanding the active space enormously. The limited active spaces calculations indicate quite strong ferromagnetic exchange interactions, thus <i>in principle,</i> reinforcing long-range magnetic exchange interactions.</div>

Anisotropy and competing exchange interactions have emerged as two central ingredients needed for centrosymmetric materials to exhibit topological spin textures. Fe3Sn2 is thought to have these ingredients as well, as it has recently been discovered to host room temperature skyrmionic bubbles with an accompanying topological Hall effect. We present small-angle inelastic neutron scattering measurements that unambiguously show that Fe3Sn2 is an isotropic ferromagnet below TC≈660 K to at least 480 K—the lower temperature threshold of our experimental configuration. Fe3Sn2 is known to have competing magnetic exchange interactions, correlated electron behavior, weak magnetocrystalline anisotropy, and lattice (spatial) anisotropy; all of these features are thought to play a role in stabilizing skyrmions in centrosymmetric systems. Our results reveal that at the elevated temperatures measured, there is an absence of significant magnetocrystalline anisotropy and that the system behaves as a nearly ideal isotropic exchange interaction ferromagnet, with a spin stiffness D(T=480 K)=168 meV Å2, which extrapolates to a ground state spin stiffness D(T=0 K)=231 meV Å2.
