Emerging Magnetism in Platinum Nanowires
arXiv:cond-mat/0401524 · doi:10.1016/j.susc.2004.05.055
Abstract
We have investigated infinitely long, monostrand Pt nanowires theoretically, and found that they exhibit Hund's rule magnetism. We find a spin moment of 0.6 Bohr magnetons per atom, at the equilibrium bond length. Its magnetic moment increases with stretching. The origin of the wire magnetism is analyzed and its effect on the conductance through the wire is discussed.
