Abstract:
Using the atomistic tight-binding model plus sp-d exchange term, the embedding of magnetic ions into CdSe/CdMnS core/shell nanoplatelets (NPLs) at different effective temperatures resulted in sp-d exchange interactions, which in turn cause modifications in electronic and magnetic characteristics. The influence of CdMnS monolayers on single-particle spectra, optical band gaps, wave function overlaps and exciton binding energies is more pronounced than that of the effective temperature. Due to the electron, hole and Zeeman splitting energies, with the growth of CdMnS shell monolayers, electron g-factor values are unchanged, but hole and exciton g-factor values are enhanced. Additionally, all g values decrease with increasing temperature, thus representing decreased magnetization of the paramagnetic system. By changing nanoplatelet architectures and temperatures, manipulation of s-d and p-d exchange interactions is accomplished. Overall, studied materials combine the merits of NPLs and magnetic ions, hence leading to alternate possibilities for active applications in spin-based devices.

When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
02:46Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
02:58Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
