Abstract
A comprehensive study of electronic and magnetic properties of Cr8F8Piv16 (HPiv = pivalic acid, trimethyl acetic acid) molecular ring is presented. The total, local and orbital projected density of states are calculated by the first principle density functional theory calculations using the package SIESTA. The original molecule has been approximated by replacing the pivallic groups by H atoms (hydrogen saturation). Electron density, deformation density, electrostatic potential and spin density maps are analyzed and compared with experiment for the first time. Magnetic properties are investigated in detail. Magnetic moments are calculated using two different approaches: the Mulliken one and integration of muffin-tin sphere with a given radius. Different magnetic configurations (ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic and many more with randomly distributed spins up and down) are considered to extract exchange interaction parameter J and check the stability of its estimate.
