A first-principles linear response theory for open quantum systems and its application to Orbach and direct magnetic relaxation in Ln-based coordination polymers

Mikolaj Żychowicz, Jakub J. Zakrzewski, Szymon Chorazy +1

Single-Molecule Magnets (SMMs) exhibit slow magnetic relaxation as a result of axial magnetic anisotropy inhibiting spin-phonon transitions. In order to establish a direct link bet…
