Spin polarization correction

One important point is whether narrow bands would display permanent magnetic moments and undergo magnetic collective phenomena. This depends clearly upon their bandwidth and will lead again to the problem localization vs itineracy. In band calculations, new ways have to be looked for, since the set of hypotheses examined previously, which hold for non-magnetic solids, must be corrected for spin-polarization. 

If the spin-polar on model is correct, we must describe the carriers in the antiferromagnetic semimetal formed when the two Hubbard bands overlap as a degenerate gas of spin polarons it should have the following properties. 

The case of the hexa(pyridine) nickel(II) complex has been extensively debated in the early literature of NMR of paramagnetic complexes [17-21]. The shift pattern with a-H > y-H > (i-H (Fig. 2.11 and Table 2.3) was soon recognized to be predominantly of a-type. The ligand has a a MO system which has the correct symmetry to overlap with the dx2 y2 and dz2 orbitals. However, spin polarization can induce V2 spin density in the it system. Once some unpaired spin density is in a p orbital, it spin-polarizes the electrons of the C—H a bond, thus producing a further mechanism for transferring spin density on the proton. The proton A/h value from this mechanism is proportional to the spin density on the carbon pz orbital, p , through a proportionality constant >ch ... 

A DFT-based third order perturbation theory approach includes the FC term by FPT. Based on the perturbed nonrelativistic Kohn-Sham orbitals spin polarized by the FC operator, a sum over states treatment (SOS-DFPT) calculates the spin orbit corrections (35-37). This approach, in contrast to that of Nakatsuji et al., includes both electron correlation and local origins in the calculations of spin orbit effects on chemical shifts. In contrast to these approaches that employed the finite perturbation method the SO corrections to NMR properties can be calculated analytically from... 

One can dissociate the NO dimer simply by increasing the N-N bond distance to infinity. One can also require that during that process the molecule remain on the singlet surface, which by definition has a wavefunction and thus density that has equal spin-up and spin-down components everywhere in space. We are not interested in spin-restricted dynamics. We are interested in the much more balanced chemical dynamics that treats each half of the dissociated dimer correctly in DFT via a spin-polarized calculation. This decision must be made independent of whether or not one wants to use spatial symmetry to reduce the cost of the calculation. Spin-unrestricted DFT chemical dynamics will be called balanced in the following. 

The core electrons of all atoms were treated via ultra-soft pseudo potentials [10,11] with a cut-off of 25 Ry for wave function, and 240 for electronic density. The PBE gradient-corrected exchange-correlation function was used in self-consistent DFT calculations. The geometry optimization was performed using a lxlxl /c-point mesh. Because of the natural paired electron occupancies of the adsorbates, spin polarization effects were not considered to be important and were not treated explicitly in this study.
