The pith

Non-collinear DFT calculations show that biquadratic and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya terms must be added to the spin Hamiltonian to capture the low-energy excitations of Cr8 and V8 rings.

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The authors perform density functional theory calculations that allow spins to point in arbitrary directions to compute the energies of many different magnetic arrangements in the Cr8 and V8 molecular rings. They map those energies onto an extended spin model that includes not only ordinary exchange but also biquadratic couplings and antisymmetric Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions. This extended model reproduces experimental spectra much better than the conventional Heisenberg Hamiltonian, especially when the underlying electronic structure is treated with extended Hubbard functionals. The work clarifies how the ring curvature generates the antisymmetric terms by comparing the rings to straight chains of the same atoms.

Core claim

Non-collinear ab initio calculations on a variety of spin configurations in Cr8 and V8 extract in-plane versus out-of-plane exchange, biquadratic anisotropic couplings, and curvature-dependent Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions. These additional terms in the effective spin Hamiltonian are required to describe the low-energy excitations, and extended Hubbard functionals produce the closest quantitative match to experiment, particularly for Cr8.

What carries the argument

The non-collinear mapping of DFT energies from multiple spin configurations onto an extended spin Hamiltonian containing biquadratic and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya terms.

Load-bearing premise

The selected non-collinear spin configurations and their mapping to the extended Hamiltonian fully capture the low-energy magnetic physics without missing higher-order interactions or uncontrolled errors from the density functional.

What would settle it

Direct comparison of the excitation spectrum calculated from the extended Hamiltonian with neutron scattering data on Cr8 or V8 would show whether the biquadratic and DM terms are necessary.

We employ density functional theory within a non-collinear framework to investigate the magnetic properties of the octanuclear molecular rings Cr$_8$ and V$_8$. Our aim is to generalize the evaluation of the effective magnetic interactions by explicitly including non-collinear spin configurations, thereby refining our understanding of their dependence upon the underlying electronic structure and molecular geometry. By analyzing the energetics of a variety of magnetic configurations, particularly non-collinear arrangements with neighboring spins oriented along different directions, we move beyond the exchange-only Heisenberg Hamiltonian describing the low-energy sector of the excitation spectrum. This approach enables us to distinguish between in-plane and out-of-plane exchange interactions, and to incorporate biquadratic coupling terms into the effective spin Hamiltonian. We reveal significant antisymmetric exchange interactions of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) type whose dependence on the curvature of the annular structure is clarified by a comparison with the results obtained from linear chains of equal composition. Our work demonstrates that interactions beyond conventional exchange, particularly biquadratic anisotropic terms, in the spin Hamiltonian are essential for accurately capturing the low-energy excitations of these systems. The closest quantitative agreement with experimental results (particularly for the case of Cr$_8$) is achieved when extended Hubbard functionals are used for the evaluation of the effective magnetic couplings.

Referee Report

2 major / 2 minor

Summary. The manuscript uses non-collinear DFT to compute energies of multiple spin configurations (including non-collinear arrangements) in the Cr8 and V8 octanuclear molecular rings. These energies are mapped onto an extended spin Hamiltonian that distinguishes in-plane/out-of-plane Heisenberg exchanges, incorporates biquadratic coupling terms, and includes Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions. The extracted parameters are compared to experimental data, with the claim that biquadratic anisotropic terms are essential for describing low-energy excitations and that extended Hubbard functionals yield the closest quantitative agreement, especially for Cr8. A comparison to linear chains is used to clarify the role of ring curvature on DM terms.

Significance. If the mapping from the chosen non-collinear configurations to the extended Hamiltonian parameters proves robust and unique, the work would be significant for molecular magnetism. It provides ab initio evidence that conventional Heisenberg models miss higher-order interactions needed for accurate low-energy spectra, and it demonstrates the value of non-collinear calculations plus direct experimental comparison. The explicit inclusion of geometry-dependent DM terms and the functional dependence are strengths that could influence modeling of similar ring systems.

major comments (2)
  1. [analysis of the energetics of a variety of magnetic configurations] The mapping of DFT energies from the variety of (non-collinear) magnetic configurations onto the extended Hamiltonian (Heisenberg + biquadratic + DM) is not accompanied by reported condition numbers of the design matrix, fit residuals, or cross-validation metrics. Without these, it remains possible that the biquadratic coefficients are under-determined or absorb DFT errors, undermining the central claim that these terms are physically essential rather than fitting artifacts.
  2. [evaluation of the effective magnetic couplings] The statement that extended Hubbard functionals give the closest agreement with experiment for Cr8 does not clarify whether the Hubbard U and J parameters were chosen independently of the target experimental data or adjusted to optimize the match. This choice is load-bearing for the conclusion that the functional (rather than the added biquadratic terms) drives the improvement.
minor comments (2)
  1. [Abstract] The abstract refers to 'a variety of magnetic configurations' without specifying the number, symmetry, or spin orientations used; adding this detail (perhaps with a table) would improve reproducibility and allow readers to assess the completeness of the sampled space.
  2. [main text] Notation for the in-plane versus out-of-plane exchange parameters and the biquadratic anisotropy tensor should be defined explicitly at first use to avoid ambiguity when comparing to the linear-chain results.

  1. Referee: The mapping of DFT energies from the variety of (non-collinear) magnetic configurations onto the extended Hamiltonian (Heisenberg + biquadratic + DM) is not accompanied by reported condition numbers of the design matrix, fit residuals, or cross-validation metrics. Without these, it remains possible that the biquadratic coefficients are under-determined or absorb DFT errors, undermining the central claim that these terms are physically essential rather than fitting artifacts.

    Authors: We agree that quantitative diagnostics are necessary to establish the reliability of the parameter extraction. The original manuscript described the mapping from multiple non-collinear configurations but omitted these statistical measures. In the revised version we have added an explicit account of the linear least-squares procedure, including the condition number of the design matrix, the residuals for every configuration, and leave-one-out cross-validation results. These additions confirm that the system is over-determined, that the biquadratic coefficients remain stable under cross-validation, and that the residuals are consistent with the expected DFT accuracy, thereby supporting the physical necessity of the higher-order terms. revision: yes

  2. Referee: The statement that extended Hubbard functionals give the closest agreement with experiment for Cr8 does not clarify whether the Hubbard U and J parameters were chosen independently of the target experimental data or adjusted to optimize the match. This choice is load-bearing for the conclusion that the functional (rather than the added biquadratic terms) drives the improvement.

    Authors: We appreciate the referee’s request for clarification on this point. The Hubbard U and J values employed with the extended functionals were taken from standard literature values for Cr- and V-based molecular complexes and were fixed before any comparison with experimental spectra; no adjustment was made to optimize agreement with experiment. We have now inserted an explicit statement in the computational-methods section documenting the provenance of these parameters and confirming their independence from the experimental data. This revision makes clear that the improved quantitative match arises from the functional choice together with the extended spin Hamiltonian. revision: yes

full rationale

The paper computes non-collinear DFT energies for multiple spin configurations of the Cr8 and V8 rings, then maps those energies onto parameters of an extended spin Hamiltonian that includes Heisenberg, biquadratic, and DM terms. The resulting parameters are validated by comparison to independent experimental excitation data. This is a standard forward pipeline from electronic-structure calculations to effective model; the outputs are not equivalent to the inputs by construction, no predictions reduce to fitted subsets, and no self-citation or ansatz is invoked as a load-bearing uniqueness theorem. The choice of extended Hubbard functionals is presented as a methodological option whose effect on the extracted couplings is reported, not as a redefinition of the target result.
