反铁磁CoO诱导Pd(001)衬底的铁磁性

Ferromagnetism of Pd(001) substrate induced by Antiferromagnetic CoO

S. K. Saha, V. S. Stepanyuk, J. Kirschner

摘要:

我们的第一性原理研究揭示了意外的自旋极化的Pd(001)衬底接触反铁磁CoO覆盖层。我们给出的证据表明,Pd的铁磁性是由晶格失配驱动的结构弛豫导致的Co原子相对于Pd界面的锯齿形位置引起的。由于其4d电子的巡回性质,我们看到Pd的铁磁性质对局部环境高度敏感,并且可以通过增加CoO覆盖层膜的厚度或/和通过沿c轴施加额外的单轴向压力来进一步增强。我们的发现为CoO/Pd系统的界面矩提供了新的功能,可以通过实验获得,例如,通过磁光克尔效应(MOKE)或/和通过元素分辨X射线磁性圆二色性(XMCD)测量。

英文摘要:

Our first-principles study has revealed unexpected spin polarization of the Pd(001) substrate in contact with antiferromagnetic CoO overlayers. We give an evidence that the ferromagnetism of Pd is caused by the zigzag positions of Co atoms with respect to the Pd interface, resulted from the lattice-mismatch driven structural relaxation. Thanks to the itinerant nature of its 4d electrons, we see that the ferromagnetic properties of Pd are highly sensitive to the local environment and can be enhanced further by increasing the thickness of CoO overlayer film or/and by applying an additional uniaxial pressure along c-axis exerted externally on the bottom layers of the Pd substrate. Our finding provides new functionality for the interfacial moments of the CoO/Pd system, which can be accessed experimentally, e.g., by the magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) or/and by element-resolved X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurement.
