摘要:

本文对单分子磁体(SMM)中的磁双稳态和磁量子隧穿进行了广泛的理解,重点关注三个相对简单的低核过渡金属簇:自旋S = 4的Ni 4,Mn(III)3(S = 2和6)和Mn(III)6(S = 4和12)。Mn(III)络合物的相关性在于它们含有三角形Mn 3单元,其中交换可以从反铁磁性切换到铁磁性,而不会显著改变Mn(III)中心周围的配位,从而使单离子物理或多或少保持不变。这允许详细和系统地研究单个离子各向异性投射到分子自旋基态上的方式,否则相同的低自旋和高自旋分子,从而提供对控制SMM的量子动力学的关键因素的独特见解,即:(i)磁化弛豫的动力学势垒的高度;以及(ii)导致隧穿通过该势垒的横向相互作用。数值计算得到了前所未有的实验数据集(17种不同的化合物)的支持,包括从高频电子顺磁共振和低温磁滞测量获得的非常详细的光谱信息。多自旋哈密顿矩阵的对角化是必要的,以便充分捕获交换和局部各向异性之间的相互作用,以及最终导致高对称性SMM(铁磁Mn 3和Ni 4)中的隧穿矩阵元素的所得自旋状态混合。简单性(低核性、高对称性、弱无序性等)在这项研究中强调的分子被证明是至关重要的。

英文摘要:

This article takes a broad view of the understanding of magnetic bistability and magnetic quantum tunneling in single-molecule magnets (SMMs), focusing on three families of relatively simple, low-nuclearity transition metal clusters: spin S = 4 Ni4, Mn(III)3 (S = 2 and 6) and Mn(III)6 (S = 4 and 12). The Mn(III) complexes are related by the fact that they contain triangular Mn3 units in which the exchange may be switched from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic without significantly altering the coordination around the Mn(III) centers, thereby leaving the single-ion physics more-or-less unaltered. This allows for a detailed and systematic study of the way in which the individual-ion anisotropies project onto the molecular spin ground state in otherwise identical low- and high-spin molecules, thus providing unique insights into the key factors that control the quantum dynamics of SMMs, namely: (i) the height of the kinetic barrier to magnetization relaxation; and (ii) the transverse interactions that cause tunneling through this barrier. Numerical calculations are supported by an unprecedented experimental data set (17 different compounds), including very detailed spectroscopic information obtained from high-frequency electron paramagnetic resonance and low-temperature hysteresis measurements. Diagonalization of the multi-spin Hamiltonian matrix is necessary in order to fully capture the interplay between exchange and local anisotropy, and the resultant spin-state mixing which ultimately gives rise to the tunneling matrix elements in the high symmetry SMMs (ferromagnetic Mn3 and Ni4). The simplicity (low-nuclearity, high-symmetry, weak disorder, etc..) of the molecules highlighted in this study proves to be of crucial importance.
