Magnetocrystalline Anisotropy Energy

We have performed first-principles calculations to study the interfacial exchange coupling and magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy in a SmCo 5 /Sm 2 Co 17 multilayer model system. The phase of SmCo 5 and Sm 2 Co 17 stacking along (0001) direction are structurally well matched. The atomic structure, including the alignment and the separation between layers, were firstly optimized. Then the non-collinear magnetic structures were calculated to explore the exchange coupling across the interface and the variation of magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy. We found that the inter-phase exchange coupling strength, rotating behavior and magnetocrystalline anisotropy strongly depend on the atomic thickness of the SmCo 5 and Sm 2 Co 17 phase.

Magnetocrystalline Anisotropy Energy

Based on first-principles calculations, we studied the magnetic properties of ultrathin Fe film on a nonmagnetic substrate Ta(001). We found that the perpendicular magnetocrystalline anisotropy (PMA) of Fe/Ta(001) system with only one or two Fe atomic layer(s) can be enhanced significantly, and the corresponding magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy is enlarged tos about 3 times of that in pure ultrathin Fe film. Analysis of electronic properties demonstrates that the magnetic proximity effect at the Fe/Ta interface plays an important role in the enhancement of the PMA. Alternative arrangement of Ta and Fe layers with more Fe/Ta interfaces may further strengthen the PMA.
