Torque method for the theoretical determination of magnetocrystalline anisotropy.
We propose a torque method for the theoretical determination of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy ~MCA! energy for systems with uniaxial symmetry. While the dependence of the total energy on the angle between the magnetization and the normal axis (u) can be expressed as E(u)5E01K2sin (u)1K4sin (u), we show that the MCA energy @defined as EMCA5E(u590°)2E(u50°)5K21K4# can be easily evaluated thro...
متن کاملMagnetocrystalline anisotropy in permalloy revisited.
Permalloy with a body-centered-cubic structure has been grown on GaAs(001) by molecular beam epitaxy. Its magnetism, Curie temperature, and magnetic anisotropy are determined experimentally and compared to those of conventional face-centered-cubic Permalloy. Unexpectedly the vanishing magnetic cubic anisotropy in Permalloy is found to be independent of its atomic structure but depends only upon...
متن کاملA real-space pseudopotential method for computing the electronic properties of periodic systems
We present a real space method for electronic structure calculations of periodic systems. Our method is based on self-consistent solution of the Kohn-Sham equations on a uniform threedimensional grid. A higher-order finite difference method is combined with ab initio pseudopotentials. The kinetic energy operator, the non-local term of the ionic pseudopotential and the Hartree and exchange-corre...

متن کاملLocal control of single atom magnetocrystalline anisotropy.
Individual Fe atoms on a Cu(2)N/Cu(100) surface exhibit strong magnetic anisotropy due to the crystal field. We show that we can controllably enhance or reduce this anisotropy by adjusting the relative position of a second nearby Fe atom, with atomic precision, in a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope. Local inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy, combined with a qualitative first-...
