Herein, we explore this relationship for\u0000magnetic properties, specifically magnetic saturation (M$_s$) and magnetic\u0000anisotropy energy (MAE) of ferrites. Ferrites are materials derived from\u0000magnetite (which has the chemical formulae Fe$_3$O$_4$) that comprise metallic\u0000elements in some combination such as Fe, Mn, Ni, Co, Cu and Zn. They are used\u0000in a variety of applications such as electromagnetism, magnetic hyperthermia,\u0000and magnetic imaging. Experimentally, synthesis and characterization of\u0000magnetic materials is time consuming. In order to create insight to help guide\u0000synthesis, we compute the relationship between ferrite composition and magnetic\u0000properties using density functional theory (DFT). Specifically, we compute\u0000M$_s$ and MAE for 571 ferrite structures with the formulae\u0000M1$_x$M2$_y$Fe$_{3-x-y}$O$_4$, where M1 and M2 can be Mn, Ni, Co, Cu and/or Zn\u0000and 0 $le$ x $le$ 1 and y = 1 - x.

Our results suggest that\u0000composition can be used to optimize magnetic properties for applications in\u0000heating, imaging, and recording.

This implementation is applied to calculate\u0000relativistic hyperfine coupling (HFC) parameters for atomic systems and\u0000diatomic radicals with valence s or d orbitals by systematically varying active\u0000space size in the restricted active space self-consistent field (RASSCF)\u0000formalism with restricted active space state interaction (RASSI) for spin-orbit\u0000coupling. The DKH relativistic treatment of the hyperfine interaction reduces\u0000the Fermi contact contribution to the HFC due to the presence of kinetic\u0000factors that regularize the singularity of the Dirac delta function in the\u0000nonrelativitic Fermi contact operator.

Traditionally, computational extractant design uses electronic\u0000structure calculations to determine the metal binding energy of the lowest\u0000energy state. Although highly accurate, this approach does not account for all\u0000the relevant physics encountered under experimental conditions, such as\u0000temperature effects and ligand flexibility, in addition to approximating\u0000solvent-extractant interactions with implicit solvent models. In this study, we\u0000use classical MD simulations with an advanced sampling method, metadynamics, to\u0000map out extractant molecule conformational free energies in the condensed\u0000phase.
