Photoinduced magnetization was observed in a Prussian blue analog, K0.2Co1.4- [Fe(CN)6]·6.9H2O. An increase the critical temperature from 16 to 19 kelvin as result of red light illumination. Moreover, ferrimagnetic region below substantially increased after illumination and could be restored almost its original level by thermal treatment. These effects are thought caused an internal photochemical redox reaction. Furthermore, used partly remove enhancement magnetization. Such control...
