Effect of the Variation of the Bond Length on Laser-Induced Spin-Flip Scenarios at Ni2

Abstract

We investigate laser-induced spin-dynamics scenarios on a nickel dimer at various interatomic distances. Successful spin-flip processes based on highly correlated abinitio calculations are established and analyzed. Switching is achieved through a laser-driven Λ-process and optimized with a genetic algorithm.
