Magnetism- and impurity-assisted chain creation in Ir and Pt break junctions
Solange Di Napoli, Alexander Thiess, Stefan Blügel +1
Applying the generalization of the model for chain formation in break-junctions [JPCM 24, 135501 (2012)], we study the effect of light impurities on the energetics and elongation p…
Modelling impurity-assisted chain creation in noble-metal break junctions
Solange Di Napoli, Alexander Thiess, Stefan Blügel +1
In this work we present the generalization of the model for chain formation in break-junctions, introduced by Thiess {\it et al.} [\onlinecite{Alex08}], to zigzag transition-metal…
Competing magnetic anisotropies in atomic-scale junctions
Alexander Thiess, Yuriy Mokrousov, Stefan Heinze
Using first-principles calculations, we study the magnetism of 5d transition-metal atomic junctions including structural relaxations and spin-orbit coupling. Upon stretching monato…
Magnetically hindered chain formation in transition-metal break junctions
Alexander Thiess, Yuriy Mokrousov, Stefan Heinze +1
Based on first-principles calculations, we demonstrate that magnetism impedes the formation of long chains in break junctions. We find a distinct softening of the binding energy of…
Structurally-driven magnetic state transition of biatomic Fe chains on Ir(001)
Yuriy Mokrousov, Alexander Thiess, Stefan Heinze
Using first-principles calculations, we demonstrate that the magnetic exchange interaction and the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of biatomic Fe chains grown in the trenches of the…
