Friedel oscillations induced surface magnetic anisotropy
A. Szilva, S. Gallego, M. C. Munoz +3
We present detailed numerical studies of the magnetic anisotropy energy of a magnetic impurity near the surface of metallic hosts (Au and Cu), that we describe in terms of a realis…
Coinage-metal capping effects on the spin-reorientations of Co/Ru(0001)
Farid el Gabaly, Kevin F. McCarty, Andreas K. Schmid +5
Thin films of Co/Ru(0001) are known to exhibit an unusual spin reorientation transition (SRT) coupled to the completion of Co atomic layers for Co thicknesses under 4 layers. By me…
Magnetic states at the Oxygen surfaces of ZnO and Co-doped ZnO
N. Sanchez, S. Gallego, M. C. Munoz
First principles calculations of the O surfaces of Co-ZnO show that substitutional Co ions develop large magnetic moments which long-range coupling depends on their mutual distance…
Effect of spin-orbit interaction on a magnetic impurity in the vicinity of a surface
L. Szunyogh, G. Zarand, S. Gallego +2
We propose a new mechanism for surface-induced magnetic anisotropy to explain the thickness-dependence of the Kondo resistivity of thin films of dilute magnetic alloys. The surface…
Imaging Spin Reorientation Transitions in Consecutive Atomic Co layers
Farid El Gabaly, Silvia Gallego, Carmen Munoz +6
By means of spin-polarized low-energy electron microscopy (SPLEEM) we show that the magnetic easy-axis of one to three atomic-layer thick cobalt films on ruthenium crystals changes…
Magnetism and half-metallicity at the O surfaces of ceramic oxides
S. Gallego, J. I. Beltran, J. Cerda +1
The occurence of spin-polarization at ZrO, AlO and MgO surfaces is proved by means of \textit{ab-initio} calculations within the density functional theory. Large…
