ABSTRACTWe have studied the effect that applying self-interaction correction (SIC) to oxygen p orbitals has on the magnetic moment formation of three polar ZnO surfaces; all of them being oxygen terminated. For these investigations we have used a multi-code approach. This has allowed us, on the one hand, to relax the surface structure using the pseudopotential code SIESTA. On the other hand, by using the obtained relaxed structures for calculations within the KKR Green’s function formalism, we have been able to apply SIC and use the magnetic force theorem for calculating Heisenberg exchange parameters. The latter contain information about both the strength of the interaction and the interaction mechanism.Our calculations show that all three surfaces are magnetic. In addition, we find that applying SIC is necessary to correctly describe the top oxygen atom of the (0001)-t and (0001)-h surfaces.

In this work the magnetic properties (exchange parameters, magnetic moment of non-stoichiometric Ni–Mn–Ga Heusler alloys with structural disorder by the help of ab initio calculations have been performed. Theoretical composition dependences of the total magnetic moment are in qualitative agreement in qualitative agreement with experimental data. Calculations of exchange parameters show that interactions between the Mn atoms in regular positions and Mn atoms in Ni and Ga positions are antiferromagnetic.

ABSTRACTIn this work we study the influence of supercell scaling on magnetic properties in Ni-Mn-X-Z alloys by means of ab initio calculations with the help of Quantum Espresso PWSCF package and the spin-polarized relativistic Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (SPR-KKR) code based on DFT approximation. It is shown that the supercell calculations for the equilibrium lattice parameter are coincided with the calculations for simple primitive lattice. The exchange parameters for Ni-Mn-X alloys obtained from supercell calculations are large than calculated for simple primitive lattice.

This thermoscope is founded on the change produced in the magnetic moment of a steel magnet by change of temperature. Several different forms suggest themselves: the one which seems best adapted to give good results is to be made as follows:—(1.) Prepare an approximately astatic system of two thin, hardened steel wires, r b, r′ b′, each 1 cm. long, one of them, r, b, hung by a single silk fibre, and the other hung bifilarly from it, by fibres about 3 cms. long, so attached that the projections of the two, on a horizontal plane, shall be inclined at an angle of about ·01 of a radian (or ·57°) to one another.

We investigated two formula-units of Li1.5Mn0.5As alloys, such as Li3MnAs2, in the Cu2Sb crystal structure using an ab-initio algorithm. By interchanging Mn with each Li located at different positions of the Li4As2unit cell, four separate alloys are formed. At the optimized lattice constant, two of these alloys are predicted to be ferromagnetic metals and the other two are half metals. The possibility of half metallicity in the first two is also explored. Both the modified Slater-Pauling-Kübler rule and the ionic model can characterize the magnetic moments of the half metals.

The complexes [Ln2(hfac)6(L)]·nC6H14 (Ln = Dy (1) n = 0, Yb (2) n = 1) with the L chiral 3,14-di-(2-pyridyl)-4,13-diaza[6]helicene ligand (hfac− = 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetonate) have been synthesized in their racemic form and structurally and magnetically characterized. Both complexes behave as field-induced single molecule magnets in the crystalline phase. These magnetic properties were rationalized by ab initio calculations.
