We find that Ti and V substitutions in Mn$_{13}$ cluster are the most promising in terms of gaining substantial binding energy as well as achieving higher magnetic moment through ferromagnetic alignment of atom-centered magnetic moments. This has been demonstrated in terms of energetics and electronic properties of the clusters. For comparison, we have also studied the effect of N-capping of Mn$_{13}$ cluster, predicted in the earlier work [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\\bf 89}, 185504 (2002)] as a means to produce stable giant magnetic moment in Mn clusters upto cluster size of 5 Mn atoms.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-06-06T06:39:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.22.-f", "36.40.Cg", "71.15.Mb" ], "keywords": [ "magnetic properties", "clusters upto cluster size", "mn clusters upto cluster", "produce giant magnetic moment", "produce stable giant magnetic moment" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2011, "month": "Feb", "volume": 83, "number": 7, "pages": "075425" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011PhRvB..83g5425D" } } }
