Studies on Electronic Structure and Magnetic Properties of an Organic Magnet with Metallic Mn^2＋ and Cu^2＋ Ions

The electronic structure and the magnetic properties of the non-pure organic ferromagnetic compound MnCu(pbaOH)(H2O)3 with pbaOH=2-hydroxy-1, 3-propylenebis (oxamato) are studied by using the density-functional theory with local-spin-density approximation. The density of states, total energy, and the spin magnetic moment are calculated. The calculations reveal that the compound MnCu(pbaOH)(H2O)3 has a stable metal-ferromagnetic ground state, and the spin magnetic moment per molecule is 2.208 μa, and the spin magnetic moment is mainly from Mn ionand Cu ion. An antiferromagnetic order is expected and the antiferromagnetic exchange interaction of d-electrons of Cu and Mn passes through the antiferromagnetic interaction between the adjacent O, 0, and N atoms along the path linking the atoms Cu and Mn.     

Electronic and Magnetic Properties of the p-NPNN

In this paper, we study the electronic band structure and the ferromagnetic properties of the organic radical p-NPNN by employing density-functional theory with generalized gradient approximation (GGA ) and local-spin density approximation (LSDA). The density of states, the total energy, and the spin magnetic moment are calculated. The calculations reveal that the δ-phase of p-NPNN has a stable ferromagnetic ground state. It is found that an unpaired electron in this compound is localized in a single occupied molecular orbital (SOMO) constituted primarily of π^* (NO) orbitals, and the main contribution of the spin magnetic moment comes from the π^* (NO) orbitals. By comparison, we find that the GGA is more suitable to describe free radical systems than LSDA.

The spin magnetic moment 1.0μ_B per molecule mainly comes from the Cu ion with little contribution from O, C anion.     

Frequency in Middle of Magnon Band Gap in a Layered Ferromagnetic Superlattice

The frequency in middle of magnon energy band in a five-layer ferromagnetic superlattice is studied by using the linear spin-wave approach and Green's function technique. It is found that four energy gaps and corresponding four frequencie in middle of energy gaps exist in the magnon band along K_x direction perpendicular to the superlattice plane. The spin quantum numbersand the interlayer exchange couplings all affect the four frequencies in middle of the energy gaps. When all interlayer exchange couplings are same, the effect of spin quantum numbers on the frequency ω_g1 in middle of the energy gap Δω₁₂ is complicated, and the frequency ω_g1 depends on the match of spin quantum numbers in each layer. Meanwhile, the frequencies ω_g2, ω_g3, and ω_g4 in middle of other energy gaps increase monotonously with increasing spin quantum numbers. When the spin quantum numbersin each layer are same, the frequencies ω_g1, ω_g2, ω_g3, and ω_g4 all increasemonotonously with increasing interlayer exchange couplings.

ab initio Study of Electronic Structure and Magnetic Properties of a Novel Two-Dimensional Copper(II)-Radical Complex [Cu(NTTmPy)2(N3)2]n

The full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FPLAPW) method with the generalized gradient approximations (GGA) is applied to study the compound [Cu(NTTmPy)₂(N₃)₂]_n (NITmPy=2-(3'-Pyridy1)-4, 4, 5, 5-tetramethylimidazolin-1-oxy1-3-oxide). The total density of states (DOS) and the partial density of states (pDOS) are calculated to explain the electronic and the magnetic properties of [Cu(NTTmPy)₂(N₃)₂]_n. It is found that [Cu(NTTmPy)₂(N₃)₂]_n is stable in the ferromagnetic state and the magnetic moment of the molecule mainly comes from the Cu atoms (0.518 μ_B) with partial contribution from N, O atoms of nitronyl nitroxide radicals. There exist orbital hybridization between 3d orbital of Cu and p orbitals of N(1) (from pyridyl rings of the NITmPy ligands) and N(4) (from azido group) and the weak direct exchange interactions between Cu and O atoms of nitronyl nitroxides. In addition, the bridging carbon atom (C(6)) carries a significant negative spin density (-0.019μ_B). The sign alternation of the magnetic moment along the pyridyl ring is obtained, which agrees with experiments.

The first principle method was applied to study the electronic structure and magnetic properties of the compound of Cu(HCO₂)(NO₃)(pyz).

The results reveal that the compound has a ferromagnetic interaction arising from the bridging μ- HCO₂⁻ and pyz ligands, and the ferromagnetic properties come from the spin delocalization effect. The spin magnetic moment per molecule mainly comes from the Cu ion, but has little contribution from O, N and C anion.     

Strain-induced magnetism in ReS_2 monolayer with defects

We investigate the effects of strain on the electronic and magnetic properties of ReS_2 monolayer with sulfur vacancies using density functional theory.Unstrained ReS_2 monolayer with monosulfur vacancy(V_s) and disulfur vacancy(V_(2S))both are nonmagnetic.However,as strain increases to 8%,V_S-doped ReS_2 monolayer appears a magnetic half-metal behavior with zero total magnetic moment.In particular,for V_(2S)-doped ReS_2 monolayer,the system becomes a magnetic semiconductor under 6%strain,in which Re atoms at vicinity of vacancy couple anti-ferromagnetically with each other,and continues to show a ferromagnetic metal characteristic with total magnetic moment of 1.60μb under 7%strain.Our results imply that the strain-manipulated ReS_2 monolayer with V_S and V_(2S) can be a possible candidate for new spintronic applications.     

The electronic structure and properties of the C15 compounds CeAl2, LaAl2 and YAl2

Results of self-consistent band calculations are reported for the C15 structured XAl₂ materials (X = Y, La, and Ce) using the local spin density functional formalism for assumed ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic states as well as the paramagnetic state. The X-atoms are found to be the dominant factor is determining the electronic structure near the Fermi energy and this is enhanced by the presence of f-bands close to (LaAl₂) or at (CeAl₂) the Fermi energy. In paramagnetic CeAl₂, the f-bands are about 1 eV wide and, although principally above the Fermi energy, extend down to accomodate the additional electron compared to LaAl₂. The ferromagnetic state is found not to be stable. By contrast, the antiferromagnetic state is found to be stable with a magnetic moment of 0.88μ_B per Ce atom in very good agreement with the maximum moment, 0.89μ_B found in the neutron measurements of Barbara et al. A significant narrowing of the f-bandwidth is observed in the antiferromagnetic state. The antiferromagnetic spin density ordering appears to be related to nesting features in this underlying Fermi surface in LaAl₂ (i.e., no 4f electron) rather than that of CeAl₂.     

The electronic structure and the ferromagnetic properties of the organic radical 4-methacryloyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxyl (MOTMP)

The ab initio method of the full potential linearized augmented-plane-wave has been used to study the electronic band structure and the ferromagnetic (FM) properties of the organic radical MOTMP. The total and the partial density of states and the atomic spin magnetic moments are calculated. The calculation revealed that MOTMP has a stable ferromagnetic ground state and the spin magnetic moment is 1.0 μ_B per molecule, which is in good agreement with the experimental value. It is found that the unpaired electrons in this compound are localized in a molecular orbital constituted primarily of π*(NO) orbital and the main contribution of the spin magnetic moment comes from the NO free radical. It is also found that there exists ferromagnetic intermolecular interaction in the compound.     

High-temperature ferromagnetism in Zn1−xMnxO semiconductor thin films

Clear evidence of ferromagnetic behavior at temperatures >400 K as well as spin polarization of the charge carriers have been observed in Zn_1−xMn_xO thin films grown on Al₂O₃ and MgO substrates. The magnetic properties depended on the exact Mn concentration and the growth parameters. In well-characterized single-phase films, the magnetic moment is 4.8 μ_B/Mn at 350 K, the highest moment yet reported for any Mn doped magnetic semiconductor. Anomalous Hall effect shows that the charge carriers (electrons) are spin-polarized and participate in the observed ferromagnetic behavior.
