Spin Polarization Inversion at Benzene-Absorbed Fe4N Surface
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a first-principle study on electronic structure and simulation of the spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy graphic of a benzene/Fe(4)N interface. Fe(4)N is a compound ferromagnet suitable for many spintronic applications. We found that, depending on the particular termination schemes and interface configurations, the spin polarization on the benzene surface shows a rich variety of properties ranging from cosine-type oscillation to polarization inversion. Spin-polarization inversion above benzene is resulting from the hybridizations between C p(z) and the out-of-plane d orbitals of Fe atom.

Effects of Gas Nitriding Temperature on the Surface Properties of a High Manganese TWIP Steel
The effects of gas nitriding temperature on the cross section morphology, element nitrogen distribution, and surface layer compositions of a cold rolled and pre-strained high manganese austenitic TWIP steel 25Mn-3Cr-3Al-0.3C-0.01N and the corresponding anti-corrosion ability have been studied. The results show that, depending on nitriding temperature, the distribution of element nitrogen and ma...
متن کاملSpin-resolved photoemission of surface states of W(110)-(1 x 1)H.
The surface electronic states of W(110)-(1 x 1)H have been measured using spin- and angle-resolved photoemission. We directly demonstrate that the surface bands are both split and spin-polarized by the spin-orbit interaction in association with the loss of inversion symmetry near a surface. We observe 100% spin polarization of the surface states, with the spins aligned in the plane of the surfa...
متن کاملTHE MAGNETIC AND ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES OF Fe4N AND Mn4N
Using the augmented spherical wave method we calculate the electronic and magnetic structure of Fe4N and Mn4N. Both nitrides are found to order magnetically exhibiting ferroand ferrimagnetic spin alignment respectively in agreement with neutron data. A comparison with Goodenough's phenomenological model as well as with Heusler alloys is given.
متن کاملSpin dephasing in quantum wires
We study high-field spin transport in a quantum wire using a semiclassical approach. Spin dephasing (or spin depolarization) in the wire is caused by D’yakonov-Perel’ relaxation associated with bulk inversion asymmetry (Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling) and structural inversion asymmetry (Rashba spin-orbit coupling). The depolarization rate is found to depend strongly on the initial polarization...
متن کاملNuclear Polarization of Molecular Hydrogen Recombined on a Non-metallic Surface
The nuclear polarization of H2 molecules formed by recombination of nuclear polarized H atoms on the surface of a storage cell initially coated with a silicon-based polymer has been measured by using the longitudinal double-spin asymmetry in deep-inelastic positron-proton scattering. The molecules are found to have a substantial nuclear polarization, which is evidence that initially polarized a...
