Quantum Monte Carlo simulations of a giant {Ni21Gd20} cage with a S = 91 spin ground state

Paramagnetic metal clusters with large ground spin states often possess attractive magnetic behaviors for information storage or solid-state cooling applications. Here, the authors design a giant {Ni21Gd20} cage, which using quantum monte carlo simulations they predict to possess a spin ground state...

Description
Summary:Paramagnetic metal clusters with large ground spin states often possess attractive magnetic behaviors for information storage or solid-state cooling applications. Here, the authors design a giant {Ni21Gd20} cage, which using quantum monte carlo simulations they predict to possess a spin ground state approaching S = 91.
