摘要:

为了阐明Fe/FePt(软/硬磁)界面的存在对Fe/FePt/Fe多层膜磁性的影响,我们对Fe/FePt/Fe三明治体系中的交换作用和磁晶各向异性能(MAE)进行了完全相对论性第一性原理计算.在整个研究中,我们对几何非松弛系统和几何松弛系统进行了比较。我们观察到,在Fe/FePt界面处的Fe层起着至关重要的作用,因为其(各向同性)交换耦合到系统的软(Fe)相大大减少。此外,该界面Fe层对系统的MAE具有实质性影响。我们发现,MAE的FePt板,包括从Fe/FePt界面的贡献,是由各向异性的网站间交换相互作用。我们的计算表明,FePt板的MAE相对于相应的体值的变化是负的,即,Fe/FePt界面的存在似乎降低了Fe/FePt/Fe系统的垂直MAE。然而,对于宽松的制度来说,这种减少是微不足道的。它还表明,松弛系统表现出减少的界面交换。使用一个简单的线性链模型,我们表明,减少交换导致界面处的磁化结构的不连续性。

英文摘要:

We perform fully relativistic first principles calculations of the exchange interactions and the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy (MAE) in an Fe/FePt/Fe sandwich system in order to elucidate how the presence of Fe/FePt (soft/hard magnetic) interfaces impacts on the magnetic properties of Fe/FePt/Fe multilayers. Throughout our study we make comparisons between a geometrically unrelaxed system and a geometrically relaxed system. We observe that the Fe layer at the Fe/FePt interface plays a crucial role inasmuch its (isotropic) exchange coupling to the soft (Fe) phase of the system is substantially reduced. Moreover, this interfacial Fe layer has a substantial impact on the MAE of the system. We show that the MAE of the FePt slab, including the contribution from the Fe/FePt interface, is dominated by anisotropic inter-site exchange interactions. Our calculations indicate that the change in the MAE of the FePt slab with respect to the corresponding bulk value is negative, i.e., the presence of Fe/FePt interfaces appears to reduce the perpendicular MAE of the Fe/FePt/Fe system. However, for the relaxed system, this reduction is marginal. It is also shown that the relaxed system exhibits a reduced interfacial exchange. Using a simple linear chain model we demonstrate that the reduced exchange leads to a discontinuity in the magnetisation structure at the interface.
