Long-Term Degradation Mechanisms in Application-Implemented Radical Thin Films.

ABSTRACT: Blatter radical derivatives are very attractive due to their potential applications, ranging from batteries to quantum technologies. In this work, we focus on the latest insights regarding the fundamental mechanisms of radical thin film (long-term) degradation, by comparing two Blatter radical derivatives. We find that the interaction with different contaminants (such as atomic H, Ar, N, and O and molecular H₂, N₂, O₂, H₂O, and NH₂) affects the chemical and magnetic properties of the thin films upon air exposure. Also, the radical-specific site, where the contaminant interaction takes place, plays a role. Atomic H and NH₂ are detrimental to the magnetic properties of Blatter radicals, while the presence of molecular water in
