Abstract:We investigate the electronic structure of a planar mononuclear Cu-based molecule [Cu(C 6 H 4 S 2 ) 2 ] z in two oxidation states (z=−2, −1) using density-functional theory (DFT) with Fermi-Löwdin orbital (FLO) selfinteraction correction (SIC). The dianionic Cu-based molecule was proposed to be a promising qubit candidate. Self-interaction error within approximate DFT functionals renders severe delocalization of electron and spin densities arising from 3d orbitals. The FLO-SIC method relies on optimization of … Show more
