Theoretical Studies of Dimeric Exchange-Coupled Single-Molecule Magnets

Abstract

We study a molecular dimer model that takes higher order interaction term as well as antisymmetric term into account. We mainly focus on the theoretical quantum properties that are of interest. We numerically diagonalize the system and investigate different phenomena which include oscillations of ground state energy splitting, magnetization steps, Schottky anomaly, torque oscillations, and magnetocaloric effects. Indeed, we show that these interactions can exotically influence these phenomena, which should be of interest.
