Nature of exchange interaction

The Hamiltonian terms that enter the spin-spin interaction tensor D were derived in Chapter 4. The relevant contributions are  

It is assumed that the spin-(own)orbit term and the dipolar term are dominating. The interelectron terms contain a factor of 

When the distances are given in atomic units (lbohr = 0.529 A = 0.529 x 10-10m), then (F/hc) = 0.256cm-1 and rapidly escapes with increasing distance. 

An estimate of the dipolar contribution can be made as follows. For separated spins (spin magnetic moments) the classical expression for the interaction energy between two magnetic moments is 

At a distance of 5 A (9.45 bohr) the numerical factor brings only F/hc) = 3.03 x 10-4cm-1. However, there are many neighbours in the solid state an inclusion of localised dipolar interactions between a magnetic centre and the rest of 250 atoms within 5x5x5 cubic cells brings (Jiip/hc) = 0.488 cm-1, whereas the interaction with 2000 atoms within 10 x 10 x 10 cubic cells yields (J /hc) = 0.727 cm-1.

This, in turn, accounts for the deviation from Curie-law behavior in many paramagnetic materials, as described in the last section. Before a discussion on the nature of exchange interactions, a phenomenological model of ferromagnetic behavior by Weiss is presented, which precedes the understanding of its quantum mechanical origin. 

The shape of the I(t) curves of the donor centers carries very useful information about the nature of the interaction process. Assuming that the acceptors A are randomly distributed at various distances from the donor centers D, the Japanese scientists Inokuti and Hirayama (1965) investigated the shape of the donor decay-time curves for the different multipolar interactions and also for the exchange interaction. 

LMCT) transition indicates that PtCll is sorbed within Gn-OH dendrimers. The spectroscopic data also indicate that the nature of the interaction between the dendrimer and Cu or Pt ions is quite different. As discussed earlier, Cu + interacts with particular tertiary amine groups by complexation, but PtCl undergoes a slow ligand-exchange reaction, which is consistent with previous observations for other Pt + complexes [119]. The absorbance at 250 nm is proportional to the number of PtCl ions in the dendrimer over the range 0-60 (G4-OH(Pb+)n, n = 0 - 60), which indicates that it is possible to control the G4-OH/Pb+ ratio. 

Another argument in favor of the electrostatic nature of the interaction between TBA4HPWiiCo(H20)039 and NH2 groups of the support was obtained from anion exchange experiments [97]. The color of the supported catalyst (pale pink) became completely colorless after treatment with a 1 M solution of TBACIO4 in MeCN. Additionally, the elemental analysis data confirmed elimination of Co-POM from the solid matrix after such a treatment. 

The constant C, however, depends on the nature of the interaction between a pair of electrons. If it is mainly of exchange type then C is positive and of order unity, as we have seen. There is also a term of Hartree type—namely that due to direct interaction between the electrons. This has the opposite sign. Finkelstein (1983) and Altshuler and Aronov (1983) found that when the Hartree term is included C should be multiplied by... 

The hypothesis is adopted that in every case of interaction between a 44 donor99 and an 64 acceptor99 there occurs an exchange of anions from the former for an equal number of electrons from the latter. This exchange is followed by the union of the two residues with formation of the coloured complex, the extent to which the latter is formed being governed by temperature and concentration as well as by the nature of the interactants. Substances acting as 14 donors 99 or 44 acceptors," but... 

Even without the complexities introduced via electron-exchange processes of the type outlined above, the fundamental nature of the interaction between two solvated electrons leading to spin pairing has yet to be firmly established. A treatment of the possible bonding in... 

The clay-water interactions and the quantity of water present in the interlayer space strongly depend on the nature of exchangeable cations. The water in the clay may be acting as hydrate water or additional absorbed water.
