Modeling the properties of uranium-based single ion magnets

Abstract

We analyze the magnetic behavior of the five uranium-based SIMs reported in the literature. By combining a corrected crystal field model with the magnetic experimental data, we obtain the lowest-lying magnetic levels and the associated wave functions of the nanomagnets, which are found to be compatible with the observed SMM behavior. Additionally, this approach has allowed us to propose some geometrical considerations and practical advice for experimentalists aiming for the rational design of SIMs and spin qubits based on uranium.
