Electronic Structure Calculations of Cubane-type Cu4 Magnetic Molecule  

Park, Key Taeck (Department of Nanoelectrophysics, Kookmin University)
Abstract
We have studied electronic and magnetic structure of cubane-type Cu magnetic molecule using density functional method. The calculated density of states show that Cu has 3d $x^2-y^2$ hole orbital because of short distances between Cu atom and in-plane 4 ligand atoms. The calculated total energy with in-plane antiferromagnetic spin configuration is lower than those of ferromagnetic configurations. The calculated exchange interaction J between in-plane Cu atoms is much larger than those between out-plane Cu atoms, since the $x^2-y^2$ hole orbital ordering of Cu 3d orbitals induces strong super-exchange interaction between in-plane Cu atoms.
