Description

Potassiumhexacyanocobaltate(III) is a compound that is an optical material with a yellow colour. It has a high degree of anisotropy, and it can be used in magneto-optical devices. Potassiumhexacyanocobaltate(III) is bifunctional, meaning that it can have both magnetic and light emitting properties. The magnetic property arises from the spin-orbit coupling between the metal ions, while the light emission is due to radiative transitions involving the electrons in the metal ion. Potassiumhexacyanocobaltate(III) has been used to produce light emission in crystalline materials such as gallium arsenide and zinc selenide, as well as in devices such as LEDs.
