Figure 4. Ferromagnetic exchange interaction induced by strong magnetic anisotropy.
(a) The definition of the angles ϕ and ψ defining the relative orientation in the Er2 complex with equivalent metal sites. (b) Variation of with respect to ϕ and ψ. The internal dashed line corresponds to the angle π/4 and the external to the angle π/2 between the magnetic axes. The blue and the red regions stand for the negative and positive values of
, respectively (cm−1).
