SYMMETRY RULESSYMMETRY RULES
In a centro-symmetric molecule
local DM-interactions MUST BE related by inversion symmetry and
DO NOT BREAK THE DEGENERACY BETWEEN LEVELS OF OPPOSITIVE PARITY
independently of how complex the Hamiltonian is
because PARITY (good quantum number) MUST BE CONSERVED
![Page 24: Spin Tunneling and Inversion Symmetry delbarco E NRIQUE DEL B ARCO Department of Physics – UCF Orlando QCPS II 2009 - Vancouver.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649d5f5503460f94a3f2b6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
SYMMETRY RULESSYMMETRY RULES
DM-interactions are important in S = 1/2 systems
ONLY SOURCE OF DEGENERACY BREAKING
but never mix states of opposite parity in a system with inversion symmetry
(Kagome lattice – weak ferromagnetism)
when inversion symmetry is not present
BOTH SYMMETRIC and ANTISYMMETRIC INTERACTIONSCAN BREAK DEGENERACIES
