The magnetic properties of the molecular cluster Mn12Ac are due to the four Mn3+ ions which have spins S=3/2 and the eight Mn4+ ions with spins S=2. These spins are coupled by superexchange mechanism. We determine the four exchange couplings assuming a Heisenberg-type interaction between the ions. We use exact diagonalization of the spin Hamiltonian by a Lanczos algorithm and we adjust the couplings to reproduce the magnetization curve of Mn12Ac. We also impose the constraint of reproducing a gap of 35K between a S=10 ground state and a first excited state with S=9. We predict that there is an excited level with S=8 at 37K above the ground state, only slightly above the S=9 excited state which lies at 35K and the next excited state is a S=9 multiplet at 67K above the S=10 ground state.

We have calculated the chemical trend of magnetic exchange parameters ($J_{dd}$, $N alpha$, and $N beta$) of Zn-based II-VI semiconductors ZnA (A=O, S, Se, and Te) doped with Co or Mn. We show that a proper treatment of electron correlations by the L SDA+$U$ method leads to good agreement between experimental and theoretical values of the nearest-neighbor exchange coupling $J_{dd}$ between localized 3$d$ spins in contrast to the LSDA method. The exchange couplings between localized spins and doped electrons in the conduction band $N alpha$ are in good agreement with experiment as well. But the values for $N beta$ (coupling to doped holes in the valence band) indicate a cross-over from weak coupling (for A=Te and Se) to strong coupling (for A=O) and a localized hole state in ZnO:Mn. That hole localization explains the apparent discrepancy between photoemission and magneto-optical data for ZnO:Mn.
Understanding the magnetism and its possible correlations to the topological properties has emerged as a forefront and difficult topic in studying magnetic Weyl semimetals. Co$_{3}$Sn$_{2}$S$_{2}$ is a newly discovered magnetic Weyl semimetal with a kagome lattice of cobalt ions and has triggered intense interest for rich fantastic phenomena. Here, we report the magnetic exchange couplings of Co$_{3}$Sn$_{2}$S$_{2}$ using inelastic neutron scattering and two density functional theory (DFT) based methods: constrained magnetism and multiple-scattering Greens function methods. Co$_{3}$Sn$_{2}$S$_{2}$ exhibits highly anisotropic magnon dispersions and linewidths below $T_{C}$, and paramagnetic excitations above $T_{C}$. The spin-wave spectra in the ferromagnetic ground state is well described by the dominant third-neighbor across-hexagon $J_{d}$ model. Our density functional theory calculations reveal that both the symmetry-allowed 120$^circ$ antiferromagnetic orders support Weyl points in the intermediate temperature region, with distinct numbers and the locations of Weyl points. Our study highlights the important role Co$_{3}$Sn$_{2}$S$_{2}$ can play in advancing our understanding of kagome physics and exploring the interplay between magnetism and band topology.
We employ density-functional theory (DFT) in the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and its extensions GGA+$U$ and GGA+Gutzwiller to calculate the magnetic exchange couplings between pairs of Mn ions substituting Cd in a CdTe crystal at very sm all doping. DFT(GGA) overestimates the exchange couplings by a factor of three because it underestimates the charge-transfer gap in Mn-doped II-VI semiconductors. Fixing the nearest-neighbor coupling $J_1$ to its experimental value in GGA+$U$, in GGA+Gutzwiller, or by a simple scaling of the DFT(GGA) results provides acceptable values for the exchange couplings at 2nd, 3rd, and 4th neighbor distances in Cd(Mn)Te, Zn(Mn)Te, Zn(Mn)Se, and Zn(Mn)S. In particular, we recover the experimentally observed relation $J_4>J_2,J_3$. The filling of the Mn 3$d$-shell is not integer which puts the underlying Heisenberg description into question. However, using a few-ion toy model the picture of a slightly extended local moment emerges so that an integer $3d$-shell filling is not a prerequisite for equidistant magnetization plateaus, as seen in experiment.
Magnetic topological insulators such as Cr-doped (Bi,Sb)2Te3 provide a platform for the realization of versatile time-reversal symmetry-breaking physics. By constructing heterostructures with Neel order in an antiferromagnetic CrSb and magnetic topol ogical order in Cr-doped (Bi,Sb)2Te3, we realize emergent interfacial magnetic phenomena which can be tailored through artificial structural engineering. Through deliberate geometrical design of heterostructures and superlattices, we demonstrate the use of antiferromagnetic exchange coupling in manipulating the magnetic properties of the topological surface massive Dirac fermions. This work provides a new framework on integrating topological insulators with antiferromagnetic materials and unveils new avenues towards dissipationless topological antiferromagnetic spintronics.
This study examines the effect of distorted triangular magnetic interactions in the Kagome lattice. Using a Holstein-Primakoff expansion, we determine the analytical solutions for classical energies and the spin-wave modes for various magnetic config urations. By understanding the magnetic phase diagram, we characterize the changes in the spin waves and examine the spin distortions of the ferromagnetic (FM), Antiferrimagnetic (AfM), and 120$^{circ}$ phases that are produced by variable exchange interactions and lead to various non-collinear phases, which provides a deeper understanding of the magnetic fingerprints of these configurations for experimental characterization and identification.
