As a starting point it uses the results of a RASSI calculation for the ground and several excited spin-orbital multiplets. The following quantities can be computed: 1. Parameters of pseudospin magnetic Hamiltonians: a) First order (linear after pseudospin) Zeeman splitting tensor (g tensor), including the determination of the sign of the product gX*gY*gZ b) Second order (bilinear after pseudospin) zero-field splitting tensor (D tensor) c) Higher order zero-field splitting tensors (D^2, D^4, D^6, ... etc.) d) Higher order Zeeman splitting tensors (G^1, G^3, G^5, ... , etc.) e) Angular Moments along the main magnetic axes 2. Crystal-Field parameters for the ground atomic multiplet for lanthanides 3. Static magnetic properties: a) Van Vleck susceptibility tensor b) Powder magnetic susceptibility function c) Magnetization vector for specified directions of the applied magnetic field d) Powder magnetization The :program:`SINGLE_ANISO` program is a routine which allows the non-perturbative calculation of effective spin (pseudospin) Hamiltonians and static magnetic properties of mononuclear complexes and fragments completely *ab initio*, including the spin-orbit interaction. As a starting point it uses the results of :program:`RASSI` calculation for the ground and several excited spin-orbital multiplets. A short description of methodology and applications can be found in :cite:`Chibotaru:1`, :cite:`Chibotaru:2`. The second version of the :program:`SINGLE_ANISO` program is able to calculate the following quantities: * Parameters of pseudospin magnetic Hamiltonians (the methodology is described in :cite:`Chibotaru:3`): #. First rank (linear after pseudospin) Zeeman splitting tensor :math:`g_{\alpha\beta}`, its main values, including the sign of the product :math:`g_{X} \cdot g_{Y} \cdot g_{Z}`, and the main magnetic axes. #. Second rank (bilinear after pseudospin) zero-field splitting tensor :math:`D_{\alpha\beta}`, its main values and the anisotropy axes. The anisotropy axes are given in two coordinate systems: a) in the initial Cartesian coordinate system (:math:`x, y, z`) and b) in the coordinate system of the main magnetic axes (:math:`X_{\text{m}}, Y_{\text{m}}, Z_{\text{m}}`). #. Higher rank ZFS tensors (:math:`D^4`, :math:`D^6`, etc.) and Zeeman splitting tensors (:math:`G^3`, :math:`G^5`, etc.) for complexes with moderate and strong spin-orbit coupling. #. Angular moments along the main magnetic axes. * All (27) parameters of the *ab initio* Crystal field acting on the ground atomic multiplet of lanthanides, and the decomposition of the CASSCF/RASSI wave functions into functions with definite projections of the total angular moment on the quantization axis. * Static magnetic properties: #. Van Vleck susceptibility tensor :math:`\chi_{\alpha\beta}(T)`. #. Powder magnetic susceptibility function :math:`\chi(T)`. #. Magnetization vector :math:`\vec M (\vec H)` for specified directions of the applied magnetic field :math:`\vec H`. #. Powder magnetization :math:`M_{\text{mol}}(H)`. The magnetic Hamiltonians are defined for a desired group of :math:`N` electronic states obtained in :program:`RASSI` calculation to which a pseudospin :math:`\tilde{S}` (it reduces to a true spin :math:`S` in the absence of spin-orbit coupling) is subscribed according to the relation :math:`N=2\tilde{S}+1`. For instance, the two wave functions of a Kramers doublet correspond to :math:`\tilde{S}=1/2`. The implementation is done for :math:`\tilde{S}=1/2, 1, 3/2, \ldots ,15/2`. .. The second version of the :program:`SINGLE_ANISO` program allows the calculation of all 27 parameters of the exact Crystal-Field acting on the ground atomic multiplet for lanthanides. Moreover, the *ab initio* wave functions corresponding to the lowest atomic multiplet :math:`\ket{J,M_J}` are decomposed in a linear combination of functions with definite projection of the total moment on the quantization axis. The calculation of magnetic properties takes into account the contribution of excited states (the ligand-field and charge transfer states of the complex or mononuclear fragment included in the RASSI calculation) via their thermal population and Zeeman admixture. The intermolecular exchange interaction between magnetic molecules in a crystal can be taken into account during the simulation of magnetic properties by a phenomenological parameter :math:`z_J` specified by the user (see keyword :kword:`MLTP`). .. index:: pair: Dependencies; Single_aniso .. _UG\:sec\:single_aniso_dependencies: Dependencies ------------ The :program:`SINGLE_ANISO` program take, by default, all needed *ab initio* information from the :file:`RUNFILE`: i.e. matrix elements of angular momentum, spin-orbit energy spectrum and mixing coefficients, number of mixed states and their multiplicity, etc. In order to find the necessary information in the :file:`RUNFILE`, the keywords MEES and SPIN are mandatory for :program:`RASSI`. The :program:`SEWARD` keyword ANGM is also compulsory. As an alternative, the :program:`SINGLE_ANISO` program may read an ASCII datafile obtained in a previous successful run :file:`$project.aniso`. For more information see the :kword:`DATA` below. .. index:: pair: Files; Single_aniso .. _UG\:sec\:single_aniso_files: Files ----- Input files ........... .. class:: filelist :file:`RUNFILE` The file of communication between different modules in |molcas|. Its presence is mandatory when the calculation is not a restart one from a data file. Restart files & options ....................... .. class:: filelist :file:`RUNFILE` The file of communication between different modules in |molcas|. Normally it is already present in :file:`$WorkDir`. The :program:`SINGLE_ANISO` may be restarted as many times as necessary in the same working directory where the previous :program:`RASSI` was succesfully executed. The :file:`RUNFILE` contains then all necessary data. :file:`ANISOINPUT` (Obsolescent. This option is being surpassed by the :kword:`DATA` keyword and the :file:`ANISO-DATA-FILE`, see below) The program may be restarted from the ASCII text file :file:`$Project.old.aniso` generated by default in a previous succesful run of the :program:`SINGLE_ANISO` (the name of this file may be specified during restart execution, see :kword:`REST` keyword below). This file contains all necessary data for :program:`SINGLE_ANISO` as well as for the :program:`POLY_ANISO`. In this case the initial :file:`$WorkDir` may be empty (:file:`RUNFILE` is not necessary). :file:`ANISO-DATA-FILE` The :program:`SINGLE_ANISO` may be restarted from the ASCII formatted file :file:`$Project.aniso` produced in a previous successful run. This file can be saved at the end of any successful run of :program:`SINGLE_ANISO`, and may be given as input under any name. The initial :file:`$WorkDir` may be empty and :file:`RUNFILE` is not necessary. This option is used with the keyword :kword:`DATA`. Example: :: DATA ANISO_DATA_FILE Output files ............ .. class:: filelist :file:`$Project.aniso` This formatted file is recommended for restart. It is produced by any successful run of the code by default. This file will be used by POLY_ANISO. :file:`ANISO` (Obsolescent) This file is intended to be as input for the :program:`POLY_ANISO` module in |molcas|. It is an ASCII formated file. It is produced by any successful run of the code. :file:`zeeman_energy_xxx.txt` Zeeman eignestates for the applied field in the direction # *xxx* are placed in the corresponding text file. It may be used directly with external plotting programs like gnuplot to visualize the data. :file:`XT_compare.txt` In case :kword:`TEXP` is employed (experimental XT(T) data points), the :program:`SINGLE_ANISO` produces a data file used to directly plot the comparison between experimental and calculated magnetic susceptibility. :file:`MH_compare_xxx.txt` In case :kword:`HEXP` is employed (experimental M(H,T) data points), the :program:`SINGLE_ANISO` produces one or several data file(s) used to directly plot the comparison(s) between experimental and calculated molar magnetization at each temperature. .. index:: pair: Input; Single_aniso .. _UG\:sec\:single_aniso_input: Input ----- Normally :program:`SINGLE_ANISO` runs without specifying any of the following keywords. The only unknown variable for :program:`SINGLE_ANISO` is the dimension (multiplicity) of the pseudospin. By default one multiplet is selected, which has the dimension equal to the multiplicity of the ground term. For example, in cases where spin-orbit coupling is weak, the multiplicity of the effective spin Hamiltonian is usually the same as the multiplicity of the lowest term, while in the cases with strong anisotropy (lanthanide or actinide complexes, :math:`\ce{Co^{2+}}` complexes, etc...) the lowest energy levels of the complexes form a group of states which can differ quite strong from the spin multiplicity of the lowest term. In these cases the user should specify the multiplicity corresponding to a chosen value of pseudospin :math:`(2\tilde{S}+1)`. For instance, in :math:`\ce{Dy^{3+}}` the spin of the ground state term is :math:`S=5/2`, but in many situations only the ground Kramers doublet is considered; then the user should set the multiplicity of the pseudospin equal to 2 (see :kword:`MLTP` keyword). The calculation of the parameters of the crystal field corresponding to the ground atomic multiplet for lanthanides should be requested by the CRYS keyword. :: &SINGLE_ANISO Argument(s) to a keyword are always supplied on the next line of the input file. Optional general keywords to control the input .............................................. .. class:: keywordlist :kword:`TITLe` One line following this one is regarded as title. .. xmldoc:: %%Keyword: TITLE One line following this one is regarded as title. :kword:`TYPE` This keyword is obsolete. .. xmldoc:: %%Keyword: TYPE This keyword is obsolete :kword:`MLTP` The number of molecular multiplets (i.e. groups of spin-orbital eigenstates) for which :math:`g`, :math:`D` and higher magnetic tensors will be calculated (default :kword:`MLTP`\=1). The program reads two lines: the first is the number of multiplets (:math:`n_{\text{mult}}`) and the second the array of :math:`n_{\text{mult}}` numbers specifying the dimension of each multiplet. By default, the code will first analyze the energy spectra by itself and will compute the :math:`g` and :math:`D` tensors for ten low-lying groups of states. By using this keyword the user overwrites the default. Example: :: MLTP 4 2 4 4 2 :program:`SINGLE_ANISO` will compute the :math:`g` tensor for four groups of states: the second and third groups have the effective spin :math:`\tilde{S}=\ket{3/2}` each, while the first and last groups of states being doublets. .. xmldoc:: %%Keyword: MLTP The number of molecular multiplets (i.e. groups of spin-orbital eigenstates) for which g, D and higher magnetic tensors will be calculated.

The file contains all required data for a successful run of :program:`SINGLE_ANISO`. .. xmldoc:: %%Keyword: DATA This option allows to start SINGLE_ANISO from a datafile provided by the user. The program SINGLE_ANISO will fetch the actual name of the datafile from the input and expects a file with this name in WorkDir. The datafile is produced by a previosu successful run of SINGLE_ANISO under the name $Project.aniso :kword:`TINT` Specifies the temperature points for the evaluation of the magnetic susceptibility. The program will read three numbers: :math:`T_{\text{min}}`, :math:`T_{\text{max}}`, :math:`n_T`. .. container:: list :math:`T_{\text{min}}` --- the minimal temperature (Default 0.0 K) :math:`T_{\text{max}}` --- the maximal temperature (Default 300.0 K) :math:`n_T` --- number of temperature points (Default 101) Example: :: TINT 0.0 330.0 331 :program:`SINGLE_ANISO` will compute temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility in 331 points evenly distributed in temperature interval: 0.0 K -- 330.0 K. .. xmldoc:: %%Keyword: TINT Specifies the temperature points for the evaluation of the magnetic susceptibility.

The program will read the number of temperature points (:math:`N_{\text{temp}}`) and then an array of real numbers specifying the temperatures (in kelvin) at which magnetization is to be computed. Default is to compute magnetization at one temperature point (2.0 K). Example: :: TMAG 5 1.8 2.0 3.4 4.0 5.0 :program:`SINGLE_ANISO` will compute the molar magnetization at 5 temperature points (1.8 K, 2.0 K, 3.4 K, 4.0 K, and 5.0 K). .. xmldoc:: %%Keyword: TMAG Specifies the temperature(s) at which the field-dependent magnetization is calculated. The program will read the number of temperature points (NTemp) and then an array of real numbers specifying the temperatures (in kelvin) at which magnetization is to be computed. Default is to compute magnetization at one temperature point (2.0 K). :kword:`ENCU` This flag is used to define the cut-off energy for the lowest states for which Zeeman interaction is taken into account exactly. The contribution to the magnetization arising from states that are higher in energy than :math:`E` (see below) is done by second-order perturbation theory. The program will read two integer numbers: :math:`N_K` and :math:`M_G`. Default values are: :math:`N_K`\=100, :math:`M_G`\=100. .. math:: E=N_K \cdot k_{\text{Boltz}} \cdot \text{TMAG} + M_G \cdot \mu_{\text{Bohr}} \cdot H_{\text{max}} The field-dependent magnetization is calculated at the temperature value TMAG. Example: :: ENCU 250 150 If :math:`H_{\text{max}}` = 10 T and :kword:`TMAG` = 1.8 K, then the cut-off energy is: .. math:: E=100 \cdot 250 \cdot k_{\text{Boltz}} \cdot 1.8\,\text{K} + 150 \cdot \mu_{\text{Bohr}} \cdot 10\,\text{T} = 1013.06258\,\text{cm}^{-1} This means that the magnetization coming from all spin-orbit states with energy lower than :math:`E=1013.06258\,\text{cm}^{-1}` will be computed exactly. The contribution from the spin-orbit states with higher energy is accounted by second-order perturbation. .. xmldoc:: %%Keyword: ENCU This keyword is used to define the cut-off energy for the lowest states for which Zeeman interaction is taken into account exactly. The contribution to the magnetization coming from states that are higher in energy than E (see below) is done by second order perturbation theory. The program will read two integer numbers: NK and MG. Default values are: NK=100, MG=100. The field-dependent magnetization is calculated at the temperature value TMAG. :kword:`NCUT` This flag is used to define the cut-off energy for the lowest states for which Zeeman interaction is taken into account exactly. The contribution to the magnetization arising from states that are higher in energy than lowest :math:`N_{\text{CUT}}` states, is done by second-order perturbation theory. The program will read one integer number. In case the number is larger than the total number of spin-orbit states(:math:`N_{\text{SS}}`, then the :math:`N_{\text{CUT}}` is set to :math:`N_{\text{SS}}` (which means that the molar magnetization will be computed exactly, using full Zeeman diagonalization for all field points). The field-dependent magnetization is calculated at the temperature value(s) defined by :kword:`TMAG`. Example: :: NCUT 32 .. xmldoc:: %%Keyword: NCUT This keyword is used to define the cut-off energy for the lowest states for which Zeeman interaction is taken into account exactly.

The field-dependent magnetization is calculated at the temperature value TMAG. :kword:`MVEC` Defines the number of directions for which the magnetization vector will be computed. On the first line below the keyword, the number of directions should be mentioned (:math:`N_{\text{DIR}}`. Default 0). The program will read :math:`N_{\text{DIR}}` lines for Cartesian coordinates specifying the direction :math:`i` of the applied magnetic field (:math:`\theta_i` and :math:`\phi_i`). These values may be arbitrary real numbers. The direction(s) of applied magnetic field are obtained by normalizing the length of each vector to one. Example: :: MVEC 4 0.0000 0.0000 0.1000 1.5707 0.0000 2.5000 1.5707 1.5707 1.0000 0.4257 0.4187 0.0000 The above input requests computation of the magnetization vector in four directions of applied field.

On the first line below the keyword, the number of directions should be mentioned (NDIR. Default 0). The program will read NDIR lines for spherical coordinates specifying the direction "i" of the magnetic field (theta_i and phi_i). These values should be in radians. :kword:`MAVE` This keyword specifies the grid density used for the computation of powder molar magnetization. The program uses Lebedev--Laikov distribution of points on the unit sphere. The program reads two integer numbers: :math:`n_{\text{sym}}` and :math:`n_{\text{grid}}`. The :math:`n_{\text{sym}}` defines which part of the sphere is used for averaging. It takes one of the three values: 1 (half-sphere), 2 (a quarter of a sphere) or 3 (an octant of the sphere). :math:`n_{\text{grid}}` takes values from 1 (the smallest grid) till 32 (the largest grid, i.e. the densest). The default is to consider integration over a half-sphere (since :math:`M(H)=-M(-H)`): :math:`n_{\text{sym}}=1` and :math:`n_{\text{grid}}=15` (i.e. 185 points distributed over half-sphere). In case of symmetric compounds, powder magnetization may be averaged over a smaller part of the sphere, reducing thus the number of points for the integration. The user is responsible to choose the appropriate integration scheme. Note that the program's default is rather conservative. .. xmldoc:: %%Keyword: MAVE This keyword specifies the grid density used for the computation of powder molar magnetization.

NGRID takes values from 1 (the smallest grid) till 32 (the largest grid, i.e. the densest). The default is to consider integration over a half-sphere (since M(H)=-M(-H)): NSYM=1 and NGRID=15 (i.e. 185 points distributed over half-sphere).

The default is not to create it. :kword:`CRYS` This keyword will enables the computation of the parameters of the crystal-field acting on the ground atomic multiplet of a lanthanide from the *ab initio* calculation performed. The implemented methodology is described :cite:`Ungur2017` and :cite:`Chibotaru:3`. Two types of crystal field parametererization are implemented: 1. Parameterisation of the ground :math:`\ket{J,M_J}` group of spin-orbit states (e.g. parameterisation of the ground :math:`J=15/2` of a :math:`\ce{Dy^{3+}}` complex). 2. Parameterisation of the ground :math:`\ket{L,M_L}` group of spin-free states (e.g. parameterisation of the ground :math:`^6H` multiplet of a :math:`\ce{Dy^{3+}}`). For each of the above cases, the parameters of the crystal field are given in terms of irreducible tensor operators defined in :cite:`Chibotaru:3`, in terms of Extended Stevens Operators defined in :cite:`Rudowicz1985,Rudowicz2004,Rudowicz2015` and also employed in the EasySpin function of MATLAB.

The computed values in the output correspond to the crystallographic position of three "dummy atoms" located on the corresponding anisotropy axes, at the distance of 1.0 angstrom from the metal site. :kword:`PLOT` This keyword will generate a few plots (png or eps format) via an interface to the linux program *gnuplot*. The interface generates a datafile, a gnuplot script and attempts execution of the script for generation of the image. The plots are generated only if the respective function is invoked. The magnetic susceptibility, molar magnetisation and blocking barrier (UBAR) plots are generated. The files are named: :file:`$Project.XT_no_field.dat`, :file:`$Project.XT_no_field.plt`, :file:`$Project.XT_no_field.png`, :file:`$Project.XT_no_field.dat`, :file:`$Project.XT_no_field.plt`, :file:`$Project.XT_with_field_M_over_H.dat`, :file:`$Project.XT_with_field_M_over_H.png`, :file:`$Project.XT_with_field_dM_over_dH.plt`, :file:`$Project.XT_with_field_dM_over_dH.dat`, :file:`$Project.XT_with_field_M_over_H.png`, :file:`$Project.MH.dat`, :file:`$Project.MH.plt`, :file:`$Project.MH.png`, :file:`$Project.BARRIER_TME.dat`, :file:`$Project.BARRIER_ENE.dat`, :file:`$Project.BARRIER.plt` and :file:`$Project.BARRIER.png`. In case the version of the :program:`GNUPLOT` is older than 5.0, then the eps images are generated. .. xmldoc:: %%Keyword: PLOT This keyword will generate a few plots (png or eps format) via an interface to the linux program "gnuplot".
