چکیده

A combination of detailed magnetisation studies and electronic-structure analysis using broken-symmetry DFT is used to explore the electronic structure of a trigonal prismatic Cu(II)(6) cluster. The presence of six paramagnetic metal centres with S = 1/2 gives rise to a maximum multiplicity of S = 3 and a total of 31 broken-symmetry states with M(S) < 3. Computed differences in energy between the high-spin and broken-symmetry states are expressed in terms of the 15 distinct Heisenberg exchange coupling parameters, J(ij), and the equations are solved by a least-squares fitting procedure. By inspection of the errors introduced by progressive symmetrisation of the Hamiltonian to reduce the number of independent J(ij), we arrive at a minimal model containing only four distinct J(ij) (three intra- and one inter-triangular). The computed values then guide the fitting of the magnetisation data. The computed trends in J(ij) can only be reproduced when antisymmetric exchange is included in the model Hamiltonian. The use of this Hamiltonian provides a reasonable description of the magnetic behaviour at all temperatures and fields. If a simpler isotropic model Hamiltonian is used instead, the best fit values of J(ij) are compromised by the need to fit the low-temperature region where antisymmetric exchange dominates the shape of the curve.

Investigation of effect of magnetic ordering on structural and electronic properties of double perovskites Sr2BWO6 (B = Co, Ni, Cu) using ab initio method

Structural and electronic properties of double perovskites Sr2BWO6 (B = Co, Ni, Cu)  were studied  for each of three magnetic configurations nonmagnetic, ferromagnetic, and antiferromagnetic by using density functional theory in generalized gradient approximations (GGA) and strong correlation correction (GGA + U). Due to magnetic transition from antiferromagnetic to nonmagnetic phase, an electr...

Thorium copper phosphides: more diverse metal-phosphorus and phosphorus-phosphorus interactions than U analogues.

To explore the chemical analogy between thorium and heavier actinides in soft anionic environments, three new thorium phosphides (ThCuP2, β-ThCu2P2, and ThCu5P3) have been prepared through solid-state reactions using CuI as a reaction promoter. The structure of ThCuP2 can be described as a filled UTe2-type with both dimeric P24- and monomeric P3- anions, in which Th is coordinated by eight P at...

An enneanuclear nickel(II) complex with a rectangular face-centered trigonal prism structure bridged by μ(2)-pyrazolate, μ(6)-CO(3)(2-) and μ(3)-OH(-) groups was synthesized. It displays cluster glass-like magnetic behavior assigned to the single molecule magnet properties of {Ni(9)} clusters and weak intercluster interaction.
