P-d exchange interaction

As shown in Figure 5.6, the Zeeman splits for the A and B valence bands in the wurtzite structure are suggested to have opposite polarities. When the spin-orbit coupling and the p-d exchange interaction anisotropies are neglected, simple expressions can be obtained for the Zeeman splitting energies of the A and B bands [7, 62] ...

The core-level x-ray photoemission spectrum of the Mn 2p core level for (Ga,Mn)As with x = 0.074 was measured and was analyzed by a configuration interaction (Cl) cluster-model assuming a Mn2+ and Mn3+ ground state (Okabayashi et al. 1998). For the d5 configuration, the p-d exchange energy (which is conventionally referred to as Nop for DMS) should be negative and NoP —1.2 eV is obtained for /t-(d5) centers with an optimized parameter set. 

The advantages of INDO over CNDO involve situations where the spin state and other aspects of electron spin are particularly important. For example, in the diatomic molecule NH, the last two electrons go into a degenerate p-orbital centered solely on the Nitrogen. Two well-defined spectroscopic states, S" and D, result. Since the p-orbital is strictly one-center, CNDO results in these two states having exactly the same energy. The INDO method correctly makes the triplet state lower in energy in association with the exchange interaction included in INDO. 

Another example of phase transitions in two-dimensional systems with purely repulsive interaction is a system of hard discs (of diameter d) with particles of type A and particles of type B in volume V and interaction potential U U ri2) = oo for < 4,51 and zero otherwise, is the distance of two particles, j l, A, B] are their species and = d B = d, AB = d A- A/2). The total number of particles N = N A- Nb and the total volume V is fixed and thus the average density p = p d = Nd /V. Due to the additional repulsion between A and B type particles one can expect a phase separation into an -rich and a 5-rich fluid phase for large values of A > Ac. In a Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo (GEMC) [192] simulation a system is simulated in two boxes with periodic boundary conditions, particles can be exchanged between the boxes and the volume of both boxes can...

Bloembergen and Rowland (78) have also shown that associated with the exchange interaction is a pseudo-dipolar interaction, which as the name implies, has the same functional form as the dipolar interaction. This interaction arises from the presence of the electron-coupled nuclear spin interaction and the dipole-dipole interaction and its magnitude is dependent on the relative amount of p- or d-character of the electronic wave functions in the solid. 

The sample heated at 605 °C showed the maximum activity for O/P conversion, and this sample also showed the maximum area under the electron spin resonance line and the minimum width, which means the maximum amount of localized paramagnetic centres. The samples heated at higher temperatures showed enhanced activities for H/D exchange and decreasing activities for O/P conversion. The ESR lines were broadened, which indicates exchange interactions between the paramagnetic centres.

The discussion of the preceding two sections relied on the presumption that localized (atomic-like) moments were present. However, valence s and p electrons are always best described by Bloch fimctions, while 4/electrons are localized and 5/are intermediate. Valence d electrons, depending on the intemuclear distance, are also intermediate -neither free nor atomic-Uke. In such cases, the dilemma is that the Heisenberg exchange interaction of Eq. 8.43, which is the physical basis for the Weiss field, is not strictly applicable in the case of delocalized electrons in metallic systems, in spite of the success of the Weiss model.
