Evolution of topological superconductivity by orbital-selective confinement in oxide nanowires
2019
We determine the optimal conditions to achieve topological superconducting phases having spin-singlet pairing for a planar nanowire with finite lateral width in the presence of an in-plane external magnetic field. We employ a microscopic description that is based on a three-band electronic model including both the atomic spin-orbit coupling and the inversion asymmetric potential at the interface between oxide band-gap insulators. We consider amplitudes of the pairing gap, spin-orbit interactions and electronic parameters that are directly applicable to nanowires of LaAlO$_3$-SrTiO$_3$. The lateral confinement introduces a splitting of the $d$-orbitals that alters the orbital energy hierarch…
Coexistence of ferro- and antiferromagnetic interactions in a metal-organic radical-based (6,3)-helical network with large channels.
2005
A metal–organic open-framework with an unprecedented (6,3)-helical topology, large channels and mixed ferro- and antiferromagnetic interactions has been synthesized using a three-connecting tricarboxylic polychlorotriphenylmethyl radical and Co(II) ions.

Localisation vs. delocalisation in the dimeric mixed-valence clusters in the generalised vibronic model. Magnetic manifestations
1999
Abstract The problem of localisation–delocalisation in the dimeric mixed-valence clusters is considered in the framework of the generalised vibronic model. The model takes into account both the local vibrations on the metal sites (Piepho–Krausz–Schatz model) and the multicenter (molecular) vibrations changing the intermetallic distances (as suggested by Piepho). In the framework of the semiclassical adiabatic approach the potential surfaces are analysed and different kinds of localised and delocalised states are found. On the basis of the calculated degrees of the localisation the conventional Robin and Day classification of mixed-valence compounds is reconsidered in view of the generalised…
Valence electronic structure of C60: Theoretical analysis of photoemission data
1993
Abstract We present a theoretical investigation of the valence band photoemission spectra of C 60 using the nonempirical valence effective Hamiltonian (VEH) method. The VEH-DOVS curves calculated for the C 60 molecule are found to be in excellent agreement with synchrotron-radiation photoemission spectra reported for C 60 films. A detailed interpretation of all the photoemission bands is performed in the light of the VEH results.
Problem of the magnetic anisotropy in orbitally degenerate exchange and mixed-valence clusters
2003
Abstract This contribution summarizes the results obtained in the problem of orbital degeneracy of the metal ions in exchange coupled and mixed-valence (MV) clusters. The theory of the double exchange is generalized and the orbitally degenerate systems are considered. The orbitally dependent double exchange parameter is deduced for the singlet–triplet and triplet–triplet transition metal pairs in three high-symmetric topologies. A new effective Hamiltonian of the magnetic exchange between the ions with unquenched orbital angular momenta is discussed. The technique of the irreducible tensor operators is applied to the problem of the kinetic exchange in these kind of metal clusters. Strong ma…
Structural and magnetic properties of the solid solution series Sr2Fe1–xMxReO6(M = Cr, Zn)
2005
Strong correlations between the electronic, structural and magnetic properties have been found during the study of doped double perovskites Sr2Fe1−xMxReO6 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1, M = Zn, Cr). The interplay between the van Hove singularity and the Fermi level plays a crucial role for the magnetic properties. Cr doping of the parent compound Sr2FeReO6 leads to a non-monotonic behaviour of the saturation magnetization and an enhancement for doping levels up to 10%. The Curie temperatures monotonically increase from 401 to 616 K. In contrast, Zn doping leads to a continuous decrease in the saturation magnetization and the Curie temperatures. Superimposed on the electronic effects is the structural influenc…
Magnetic mixed-valence d2-d1-d1 trimers with partial electron delocalization: vibronic coupling and magnetic properties
1993
Abstract The energy levels and magnetic properties of a triangular mixed-valence cluster d1-d1-d2 with electron delocalization in a pair of sites are examined from a model that takes into account electron transfer, magnetic exchange, and vibronic coupling. We show that the electron transfer process involves besides the usual double-exchange parameter, and additional parameter referred to as exchange transfer. This last parameter accounts for the interaction between the moving electron of the mixed valence pair and the electron localized in the third side. We notice that the role of double exchange is to stabilize a ferromagnetic alignment of the spins on the mixed-valence pair. A comparison…
Electric Field Generation and Control of Bipartite Quantum Entanglement between Electronic Spins in Mixed Valence Polyoxovanadate [GeV14O40]8–
2017
As part of the search for systems in which control of quantum entanglement can be achieved, here we consider the paramagnetic mixed valence polyoxometalate K2Na6[GeV14O40]·10H2O in which two electrons are delocalized over the 14 vanadium ions. Applying a homogeneous electric field can induce an antiferromagnetic coupling between the two delocalized electronic spins that behave independently in the absence of the field. On the basis of the proposed theoretical model, we show that the external field can be used to generate controllable quantum entanglement between the two electronic spins traveling over a vanadium network of mixed valence polyoxoanion [GeV14O40]8–. Within a simplified two-lev…
Electric field control of the optical properties in magnetic mixed-valence molecules
2014
We propose the use of an electric field stimulus to strongly affect the optical properties of ferromagnetic mixed-valence (MV) dimers. This proposal is based on the prediction of an anomalous Stark effect in the intervalence absorption bands of these multi-electron MV systems. As distinguished from the conventional Stark effect observed in one-electron dimers, a strong change of the intervalence bands accompanies the crossing of the different spin levels caused by the application of an electric field. This new effect can be referred to as giant spin-dependent Stark effect. In spintronics this opens up the possibility for optical detection of the spin state in these magnetic molecules.
Mixed-valence polyoxometalate clusters. III. Vibronic problem for the 2-electron reduced heteropoly blue with the Keggin structure
1995
Abstract A general approach to the vibronic problem of delocalized electronic pairs in mixed-valence compounds is developed and applied to understand the ways of electron delocalization in dodecanuclear polyoxometalate clusters containing two moving electrons. The interplay between electronic and vibronic interactions is examined. The electronic spectrum is shown to consist of two spin triplets 3 T 1 and 3 T 2 and three spin singlets 1 A 1 , 1 E and 1 T 2 levels determined by the double-transfer processes (parameter P ). Jahn-Teller and pseudo-Jahn-Teller problems ( 3 T 1 + 3 T 2 ) ⊗ ( e + t 2 ) and ( 1 A 1 + 1 E + 1 T 2 ) ⊗ ( e + t 2 ) have been considered in the framework of the Piepho-Kr…
