AbstractThe microscopic structure and energetics of a SrTio3 (001) surface covered with thin layers of pd were investigated by means of ab-initio electronic-structure calculations. A mixed-basis pseudopotential technique based on the local density functional theory was employed. Supercells containing srTio3 sunstrates, with either SrO or Tio2 surface terminations, and pd films of varying thicknedd were used to model the (001) surfaces and the (001) heterophase interfaces. The Tio2 terminated subtrate is energetically favoured for the adhesion of Pd films, with the Pd atoms bonded on top of the O atoms. The film adhesion is strongest for one (001) layer of fcc Pd and becomes weaker with increasing film thickness.

Centrosymmetric Structure

Structural optimization, magnetic ground state and electronic structure calculations of tetragonal PbMnO3have been carried out using local density approximation (LDA) implementations of density functional theory (DFT). Structural optimizations were done on tetragonal P4mm (non-centrosymmetric) and P4/mmm (centrosymmetric) structures using experimental lattice parameters and our results indicate that P4mm is more stable than P4/mmm. In order to determine the stable magnetic ground state of PbMnO3, total energies for different magnetic configurations such as nonmagnetic (NM), ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) were computed for both P4mm and P4/mmm structures. The total energy results reveal that the FM non-centrosymmetric structure is found to be the most stable magnetic ground state. The electronic band structure, density of states (DOS) and the electron localization function (ELF) were calculated for the stable FM structure. ELF revealed the distorted non-centrosymmetric structure. The band structure and DOS for the majority spins of FM PbMnO3showed no band gap at the Fermi level. However, a gap opens up at the Fermi level in minority spin channel suggesting that it could be a half-metal and a potential spintronic candidate.

ABSTRACTThe electronic structure and magnetic properties of rhodium clusters with sizes of 1 - 43 atoms embedded in the nickel host are studied by the first-principles spin-polarized calculations within the local density functional formalism. Single Rh atom in Ni matrix is found to have magnetic moment of 0.45μB. Rh13 and Rhl 9 clusters in Ni matrix have lower magnetic moments compared with the free ones. The most interesting finding is tha.t Rh43 cluster, which is bulk-like nonmagnetic in vacuum, becomes ferromagnetic when embedded in the nickel host.

In order to investigate electronic and magnetic properties of Fe16X2 (X=B, C, N) ferromagnet, we have performed electronic structure calculations employing the total energy self-consistent local density functional linearized muffin tin orbital (LMTO) band method. Large enhancement of the magnetic moment is observed in FeII and FeIII, which are located farther from X than FeI. This suggests that the local environment plays a very important role in determining Fe magnetic moments in these compounds. Orbital contribution to the magnetic moment in Fe atoms of Fe16N2 is minor, totalof ~0.6 μB in the unit cell. We have obtained the average magnetic moments per Fe atom, 2.30, 2.40, and 2.50 μB, in Fe16B2, Fe16C2, and Fe16N2, respectively.
