Abstract

The in-plane nearest-neighbor Heisenberg magnetic coupling constant, J, of La2CuO4, Nd2CuO4, Sr2CuO2Cl2, YBa2Cu3O6, and undoped HgBa2Can−1CunO2n+2+δ ( n=1,2,3) is calculated from accurate ab initio configuration interaction calculations. For the first four compounds, the theoretical J values are in quantitative agreement with experiment. For the Hg-based compounds the predicted values are −135meV ( n=1) and ∼−160meV ( n=2,3), the latter being much larger than in previous cases and, for n=3, increasing with pressure. Nevertheless, the physics governing J in all these layered cuprates appears to be the same. Moreover, calculations suggest a possible relationship between J and Tc.
