In this work, a theoretical study of the structural, electronic and magnetic properties are presented for Mn 0.5 Ni 0.5 alloyed overlayer adsorbed on Cu (001) surface. The calculations were performed using the density functional theory (DFT) and the exchange-correlation potential was treated by the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The system was fully relaxed except for the central layer, which yields to outward relaxations and inward Mn and Ni surface atoms, respectively in the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic configurations. The in-plane ferromagnetic configuration was found to be more stable than the antiferromagnetic one by 25 meV/atom. The local magnetic moments of Mn atoms were found to be about 4 μ B , whereas those of the Ni atoms where found to be 0.46 μ B .

The electronic structures and magnetic properties of Fe-Pt systems were calculated by CASTEP codes, which employed density functional theory, generalized gradient approximation (GGA), Perdew Burke Ernzerh exchange correlation, Pulay density-mixing scheme and Ultra Soft pseudo potential. The band structures and density of states (DOS) were calculated, together with band populations and magnetic properties. The calculated results of α-Fe show the validatiy of this method in predication magnetic properties. It is found that as the Pt concentration increases, Fe 4s and 3d electrons decrease while 4p electrons increase, and the magnetic moment of Fe atom increases. Pt atoms also contribute to the magnetic moment due to polarization. The calculated magnetization agrees with experimental values quite well.

The binding energies and related energies of associative desorption for oxygen on close-packed ( W (110), Mo (110), and Ru (0001)) and furrowed ( W (112), Mo (112), and [Formula: see text]) surfaces have been calculated by DFT method with generalized gradient approximation for exchange-correlation potential in the revised-Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof form. The unified approach allows one for a direct comparison of calculated binding energies for different transition metals and different surface geometries, thus revealing the trends that are essential for catalytic properties of surfaces with adsorbed oxygen layers.
