Orbital magnetism in transition-metal clusters: From Hund's rules to bulk quenching Article uri icon

abstract

  • A systematic self-consistent study of orbital magnetism in transition-metal (TM) clusters was presented. The study revealed remarkable properties of orbital moment L as a function of size, geometry, and composition including the crossover from atomic to bulklike behavior. The importance of orbital contributions to the magnetic moments was demonstrated.
