摘要:

分子纳米磁体是具有丰富现象学且非常有前景用于多种技术应用(尤其是自旋电子学和量子信息)的系统。它们的低能谱和磁性质可以通过有效自旋哈密顿量建模,一旦确定了局域磁矩之间的交换耦合参数。在这项工作中,我们采用密度泛函理论(DFT)计算两个代表性环状分子中原子自旋之间的交换参数,这两个分子包含八个过渡金属磁性离子:Cr$_8$和V$_8$。考虑一组适当选择的自旋构型,并将其DFT能量映射到海森堡哈密顿量的相应表达式上,我们计算了环上第一、第二及更远邻居磁性离子之间的交换耦合。尽管化学和结构相似,这两个系统表现出非常不同的基态:Cr$_8$为反铁磁性,V$_8$为铁磁性,后者还具有第二近邻之间不可忽略的耦合。我们提出了基于多带哈伯德模型(磁性离子上壳层不足半填充)对这些结果的合理化解释。

英文摘要:

Molecular nanomagnets are systems with a vast phenomenology and are very promising for a variety of technological applications, most notably spintronics and quantum information. Their low-energy spectrum and magnetic properties can be modeled using effective spin Hamiltonians, once the exchange coupling parameters between the localized magnetic moments are determined. In this work we employ density functional theory (DFT) to compute the exchange parameters between the atomic spins for two representative ring-shaped molecules containing eight transition-metal magnetic ions: Cr$_8$ and V$_8$. Considering a set of properly chosen spin configurations and mapping their DFT energies on the corresponding expressions from a Heisenberg Hamiltonian, we compute the exchange couplings between magnetic ions which are first, second and further neighbors on the rings. In spite of their chemical and structural similarities the two systems exhibit very different ground states: antiferromagnetic for Cr$_8$, ferromagnetic for V$_8$, which also features non-negligible couplings between second nearest neighbors. A rationalization of these results is proposed that is based on a multi-band Hubbard model with less-than-half filled shells on magnetic ions.
