Abstract

Calculation of phonons, phonon scattering, spin–phonon coupling and magnetic relaxation rates for a dysprosocenium single-molecule magnet show that strong scattering of low-energy modes is a significant contribution to their high-performance. Developing molecular spin technologies requires microscopic knowledge of their spin-dynamics. Calculation of phonon modes, phonon scattering and spin–phonon coupling for a dysprosocenium single-molecule magnet (SMM) give simulations of spin-dynamics that agree with experiment. They show that low-energy phonon scattering is a significant contribution to the high-performance of dysprosocenium SMMs.
