First-Principles Study of Magnetic Properties of TM_(13) and TM_(13)@Au_(32) Clusters(TM = Mn,Co)

The structural and magnetic properties of TM_(13 )and TM_(13)@Au_(32 )clusters(TM=Mn,Co)are studied by firstprinciples calculations.We find that the Au_(32 )cluster can tune not only the magnetic moment but also the magnetic coupling properties between the TM atoms of the TM cluster.The Au_(32 )cluster can increase the net magnetic moment of Mn_(13 )clusters while reducing that of Co_(13 )clusters.The interaction between Au and Mn atoms induces more Mn atoms to form spin parallel coupling,resulting in an increase of the total magnetic moment of Mn_(13 )clusters,while for the Co_(13 )clusters,the interaction between Au and Co atoms does not change the magnetic coupling states between the Co atoms,but reduces the magnetic moment of the Co atoms,leading to a decrease of the total magnetic moment of this system.Our findings indicate that the encapsulation of Au_(32 )clusters can not only raise the chemical stability of TM clusters,but also can tune their magnetic coupling properties and magnetic moment,which enables such systems to be widely applied in fields of spintronics and medical science.     

内嵌金属富勒烯Tcn和Tcn@C70的理论研究

系统地研究了内嵌金属富勒烯Tc_n和Tc_n@C₇₀的平衡态结构、电子和磁性性质．研究表明C₇₀能够内嵌Tc_n团簇(n≤9)．除了Tc₂团簇,当n≤5时,形成内嵌金属富勒烯Tc_n@C₇₀是放热的过程,而当n>5时,这种过程是吸热的．在内嵌过程中,Tc_n团簇的构型和电子结构都发生了相当大的变化．与单独的Tc_n团簇相比,Tc_n@C₇₀的总磁矩明显地降低．对体系的轨道分布,Hirshfeld分布和态密度进行了分析发现,在内嵌金属富勒烯体系里,电子可以通过Tc-C的有效杂化从Tc_n团簇向碳笼转移,从而使得体系的整体磁性降低．
