:In earlier work, we previously established a formalism that allows to express the exchange energy J vs. fundamental molecular integrals without crystal field, for a fragment A–X–B, where A and B are 3d 1 ions and X is a closed-shell diamagnetic ligand. In this article, we recall this formalism and give a physical interpretation: we may rigorously predict the ferromagnetic (J < 0) or antiferromagnetic (J > 0) character of the isotropic (Heisenberg) spin-spin exchange coupling. We generalize our results to ndm ions (3 ≤ n ≤ 5, 1 ≤ m ≤ 10). By introducing a crystal field we show that, starting from an isotropic (Heisenberg) exchange coupling when there is no crystal field, the appearance of a crystal field induces an anisotropy of exchange coupling, thus leading to a z-z (Ising-like) coupling or a x-y one. Finally, we discuss the effects of a weak crystal field magnitude (3d ions) compared to a stronger (4d ions) and even stronger one (5d ions). In the last step, we are then able to write the corresponding Hamiltonian exchange as a spin-spin one.
The study explores the microscopic mechanisms underlying the phenomenon of superexchange, a quantum mechanical process responsible for magnetic interactions in certain materials.
Superexchange is an indirect magnetic interaction between two ions mediated through a nonmagnetic ion, often responsible for antiferromagnetic coupling in materials.
Understanding superexchange is crucial for developing advanced materials with tailored magnetic properties, which have applications in spintronics, quantum computing, and magnetic storage devices.
The study utilized quantum mechanical modeling and theoretical analysis to investigate the energy transfer and orbital interactions involved in superexchange.
The study provides insights into how orbital overlap, electron spin alignment, and the mediating ion’s electronic configuration influence the strength and nature of superexchange interactions.
The findings can aid in designing new materials with optimized magnetic properties for use in technological applications like magnetic sensors, data storage, and next-generation electronic devices.
