Abstract
The vibronic aspect of the Jahn-Teller effect is considered for multielectron mixed-valency dimer clusters. A basic intermediate-coupling set is used in the numerical diagonalization of the vibronic Hamiltonian. The temperature dependence of the vibronic magnetic moment is derived for symmetrical and distorted mixed-valency dimer clusters. Strong vibronic interaction can suppress double exchange and lead to an antiferromagnetic ground state for the cluster. Distortions that eliminate the inversion center localize the surplus electron and suppress the ferromagnetic effect caused by double exchange.
