Abstract

Reversible control of the spin state of an organic molecule is significant for the development of molecular spintronic devices. Here, density functional theory calculations have been performed to study the adsorption of atomic nitrogen on a single manganese phthalocyanine (MnPc) molecule, three-layered MnPc, and MnPc on an Fe(100) surface. For all three cases, the N atom strongly adsorbs on top of the Mn atom and induces a significant variation of the geometric, electronic and magnetic properties. After N adsorption, an energy gap appears and the electronic states become unpolarized. Different functionals including three hybrid functionals are used in these calculations, and all yield a switchable spin state.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
