Strongly enhanced orbital moments and anisotropies of adatoms on the Ag(001) surface.

چکیده
We present ab initio calculations for orbital moments and anisotropy energies of 3d and 5d adatoms on the Ag(001) surface, based on density functional theory, including Brooks' orbital polarization (OP) term, and applying a fully relativistic Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker-Green's function method. In general, we find unusually large orbital moments and anisotropy energies, e.g., in the 3d series, 2.57 mu(B) and +74 meV for Co, and, in the 5d series, 1.78 mu(B) and +42 meV for Os. These magnetic properties are determined mainly by the OP and even exist without spin-orbit coupling.

We present ab initio calculations of the orbital moments and magnetocrystalline anisotropy energies for 3d , 4d , and 5d transition-metal adatoms and for some selected small clusters on the ~001! surfaces of Ag and Au. The calculations are based on the local density approximation of density functional theory and apply a fully relativistic Koringa-Kohn-Rostoker Green’s function method. Due to th...

In the frame work of relativistic density functional theory, using full potential local orbital band structure scheme (FPLO), the magnetic properties of single 3d transition metals (3d-TM) adsorbed on 2D hexagonal boron nitride (2D h-BN) are investigated. Binding energies between 3d-TM adatoms and 2D h-BN in three different compositions, local spin magnetic moments of 3d-TM and total spin magne...
متن کاملFirst-principles study of adsorption, diffusion, and charge stability of metal adatoms on alkali halide surfaces
In this work we have performed first-principles calculations based on the spin-polarized density-functional theory for the adsorption and diffusion of Au, Ag, and Pb atoms on NaCl 001 , KCl 001 , and KBr 001 surfaces. We consider also the influence of adatom charge on the adsorption and diffusion. In order to characterize the different systems we explicitly calculate charge transfer between sur...
متن کاملSpin and orbital moments of Fe clusters supported on Ni(001)
The spin and orbital moments for small Fe clusters deposited on a Ni(001) surface have been calculated by means of an ab initio method. We find enhanced spin and orbital moments compared to what is found in bulk Fe. Our obtained spin moments are in good agreement with previous theoretical studies on similar systems. Comparing our results with a recent x-ray magnetic circular dichroism study [J....
متن کاملGiant Magnetic Anisotropy of Co, Ru, and Os Adatoms on MgO (001) Surface.
Large magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) is desirable and critical for nanoscale magnetic devices. Here, using ligand-field level diagrams and density functional calculations, we well explain the very recent discovery [I. G. Rau et al., Science 344, 988 (2014)] that an individual Co adatom on a MgO (001) surface has a large MAE of more than 60 meV. More importantly, we predict that a giant MAE up...
