Subject:  Summary: g-tensor (EPR)


Hi everybody,

last week, a posted a question about literature on the EPR
g-tensor. Here is my summary. Thank you very much for all the
responses!  If you have any other comments, please let me know.

Yours, Georg

This was my question:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am looking for references to calculations of the EPR
(or ESR, if you wish) g-tensor. I know that semi-empirical
calculations of this property have been around for a while,
and I know some examples (e.g., in the textbook on EPR
by Abragam and Bleaney:
Electron paramagnetic resonance of transition ions,
 A. Abragam and B. Bleaney. - Oxford : Clarendon Press, 1970.)

I would like to see a review paper on such calculations, if there is
any. Also interesting would be the original references of such
implementations.

Further, I know of some ab initio calculations of the g-tensor, but
not very many   (e.g., G. Lushington et al.,
                 Zeitschrift fur Physik.  D,  1996 v 36, p. 301
                 IJQC, 1995 v 55, p. 377).
A few more calculations are cited in G. Lushington's thesis, most of them
pre-1980.
Are there other references, in particular newer ones?

Look at Baerends'   or Malkin & Salahub's   groups recent works:

 JPC (1995) 99, 13094
 JPC (1995) 100, 5066    and ref therein.

Hello Georg.  Here is a reference:

J. Ko, L-T Zhang and M.J. Ondrechen,  JACS 108, 1712-1713 (1986).

Hi, Georg!

I don't know of any review article on ESR g tensors either. Just like
you, I have an old book as my reference. Anyway, a very recent
implementation (complete at the ROHF level) is:

 %! at !% ARTICLE{ghlfgtca93,
        AUTHOR = {G.H.Lushington and F.Grein},
        KEY = {Complete to second-order ab initio calculations of
               electronic g-tensors},
        JOURNAL = tca ,
        VOLUME = 93 ,
        YEAR = 1996 ,
        PAGES = 259 }

tca being Theor.Chem.Acta. They only give four references to previous
ab initio calculation, of which two are from the beginning of the 70's.


Best regards,

Kenneth

I don't know what the computer language of the year 2000 will look like, but
I know it will be called FORTRAN.

Dear Georg, as to semiempirical calculations of the g-tensor, you may have a
look for papers of prof. Zhidomirov from Novosibirsk. Though, I am afraid,
these are rather old already. However, he is one of the best experts in this
field, so that you may contact him for this matter. If you need his address,
I can try to find it somewhere.

Semiempirical methods do a very poor job here except when quartet
annihilation is used or when you have a planar pi radical.  DFT methods are
very promising for larger systems.  See for example:

[Comment from G.S.] To my knowledge, there is no g-tensor calculation in the
                    cited paper. Malkin et al. did the ESR hyperfine tensor,
                    among various other applications.

Hi Georg:

   I don't know if Lou Noodleman answered your letter or not.  We have
done various DFT g-tensor calculations, although most of our work is
still in the process of being written up.  I'm mainly writing to let
you know that we have put together a program to carry out such computations
from ADF wavefunctions (pre-version 2).  Let me know if you think this
might be of interest to you.

 ...best regards...dave case
