Ferrimagnetic Structure

The geometric and electronic structures of [Mn44+Mn3+3(µ3-L2 -)3(µ3-X -(OAc) - 3(dbm) -3] (L = O, X = F, dbmH = dibenzoyl-methane) molecule has been studied by first-principles calculations. It was shown in our previous paper that the ferrimagnetic structure of Mn$^{4 + }$Mn$^{3 + }_{3}$ molecules is determined by the $\pi $ type hybridization between the $d_{z^2}$ orbitals at the three high-spin Mn$^{3 + }$ ions and the $t_{2g}$ orbitals at the Mn$^{4 + }$ ion by the $p$ orbitals at the $\mu _{3}$-L$^{2 - }$ ions. To design new Mn$^{4 + }$Mn$^{3 + }_{3}$ molecules having much more stable ferrimagnetic state, one approach is suggested. That is controlling the Mn$^{4 + }$-($\mu _{3}$-L$^{2 - })$-Mn$^{3 + }$ exchange pathways by rational variation in $\mu _{3}$-L ligands to strengthen the hybridization between Mn ions. By this ligand variation, $J_{AB}$ can be enhanced by a factor of 3. Our results should facilitate the rational synthesis of new single-molecule magnets.

Structural Distortions

The manuscript addresses the issue of the structural distortions occurring at multiple bonds between high main group elements, focusing on group 14. These distortions are known as trans-bending in silenes, disilenes and higher group analogues, and buckling in 2D materials likes silicene and germanene. A simple but correlated \sigma + \pi model is developed and validated with first-principles calculations, and used to explain the different behaviour of second- and higher- row elements.

The Stability

Thin films of boron nitride (BN), particularly the sp<sup>2</sup>-hybridized polytypes hexagonal BN (h-BN) and rhombohedral BN (r-BN) are interesting for several electronic applications given band gaps in the UV. They are typically deposited close to thermal equilibrium by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) at temperatures and pressures in the regions 1400-1800 K and 1000-10000 Pa, respectively. In this letter, we use van der Waals corrected density functional theory and thermodynamic stability calculations to determine the stability of r-BN and compare it to that of h-BN as well as to cubic BN and wurtzitic BN. We find that r-BN is the stable sp<sup>2</sup>-hybridized phase at CVD conditions, while h-BN is metastable. Thus, our calculations suggest that thin films of h-BN must be deposited far from thermal equilibrium.
