High coercivity magnets are an important resource for renewable energy, electric vehicles, and memory technologies. Most hard magnetic materials incorporate rare earths such as neodymium and samarium, but concerns about the environmental impact and supply stability of these materials are prompting research into alternatives. Here, we present a hybrid bilayer of cobalt and the nanocarbon moleculewhich exhibits significantly enhanced coercivity with minimal reduction in magnetization. We demonstrate how this anisotropy enhancing effect cannot be described by existing models of molecule-metal magnetic interfaces. We outline a form of anisotropy, arising from asymmetric magnetoelectric coupling in the metal-molecule interface. Because this phenomenon arises fromhybrid orbitals, we propose calling this effect-anisotropy. While the critical temperature of this effect is currently limited by the rotational degree of freedom of the chosen molecule,, we describe how surface functionalization would allow for the design of room-temperature, carbon-based hard magnetic films.
