Dispersion energy anisotropy

However, the Cio model is rather elaborate and unwieldy. For many applications simpler models may suffice. Fortunately, the WSM method allows the construction of far simpler isotropic dispersion models. Even more simplifications can be made by scaling the isotropic Ce WSM model to best reproduce the SAPT(DFT) dispersion energies (Misquitta and Stone 2008b), and the results are quite acceptable. From O Fig. 6-3 we see that the scaled isotropic Ce dispersion model (damped) is quite acceptable for the benzene dimer and is a significant improvement over the empirical dispersion model from a popular and well parameterized empirical potential. The significant failure occurs at the stacked configurations where anisotropy is essential to describe the dispersion interaction correctly. 

A quantitative evaluation of the relaxivities as a function of the magnetic field Bo requires extensive numerical calculations because of the presence of two different axes (the anisotropy and the external field axis), resulting in non-zero off-diagonal elements in the Hamiltonian matrix (15). Furthermore, the anisotropy energy has to be included in the thermal equilibrium density matrix. Figures 7 and 8 show the attenuation of the low field dispersion of the calculated NMRD profile when either the crystal size or the anisotropy field increases. 

For USPIO particles containing only one nanomagnet per particle, the main parameters determining the relaxivity are the crystal radius, the specific magnetization and the anisotropy energy. Indeed, the high field dispersion is determined by the translational correlation time t. ... 

The maximum of relaxivity is proportional to the squared saturation magnetization of the crystal. The low field relaxivity depends on the anisotropy, and the presence of a low field dispersion indicates a low anisotropy energy. 

When the superparamagnetic theory is applied for interpretation of any measured susceptibility line, it means that some model function x(V,a>,T) depending on several material parameters, is processed through averaging like such as Eq. (4.121) or (1.122). In our case the basic set of the material parameters comprises magnetization /, anisotropy energy density K, relaxation time To, and the particle volume fraction tp. Obviously, for nanosize-dispersed systems the effective values of /, K, and t0 do not coincide with those for a bulk material. The size/volume averaging itself introduces two independent...

To maintain thermal stability, hence a condition EB/kBT= In (for) needs to be fulfilled. For z = 10 years storage, 109-10u Hz [28] and ignoring dispersions, i.e. assuming monodisperse particles, this becomes Es/kBT= 40-45. Reversal for isolated, well-decoupled grains to first order can be described by coherent rotation over EB. This simple model, as first discussed by Stoner and Wohlfarth in 1948 [29], considers only intrinsic anisotropy and external field (Zeeman) energy terms. For perpendicular geometry one obtains the following expression ...
