The influence of surface roughness on electrical conductance of thin Cu films: An ab initio study
First-principles calculations show that atomic-scale surface roughness dramatically affects the electrical conductivity of thin films. Atomic clusters, 1–3 atoms high, deposited on the flat Cu 001 surface of an 11 monolayer thick film lead to a 30−40% reduction of its conductance. This is attributed to the destruction of isotropic Fermi surface sheets. We provide a simple parametrized formula, ...
متن کاملUltrafast demagnetization in bulk versus thin films: an ab initio study.
We report ab initio simulations of the quantum dynamics of electronic charge and spins when subjected to intense laser pulses. By performing these purely electron-dynamics calculations for a thin film and for the bulk of Ni, we conclude that formation of surfaces has a dramatic influence of amplifying the laser induced demagnetization. The reason for this amplification is enhanced spin-currents...
متن کاملHigh-harmonic generation from an atomically thin semiconductor
High-harmonic generation (HHG) in bulk solids permits the exploration of materials in a new regime of strong fields and attosecond timescales. The generation process has been discussed in the context of strongly driven electron dynamics in single-particle bands. Two-dimensional materials exhibit distinctive electronic properties compared to the bulk that could significantly modify the HHG proce...
متن کاملMagnetoelastic coupling in epitaxial magnetic films: An ab-initio study
A method is developed which allows to determine the first-order and the second-order magnetoelastic coefficients of a magnetic bulk material from the ab-initio calculation of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy as function of a prestrain ǫ0. Explicit results are given for bcc Fe, and they agree well with experimental data obtained from the magnetostrictive stress measurements for epitaxial...
