Spin-density wave in ultrathin Fe films on Cu(100).
نویسندگان
چکیده
For Fe films epitaxially grown on Cu(100) at 300 K, the total magnetic moment as a function of film thickness and its temperature dependence have been investigated in situ with a multitechnique approach. The results exclude the collinear type-1 antiferromagnetic configuration as the magnetic structure for face-centered-cubic Fe films on Cu(100). It is proposed that a spin-density-wave state is responsible for the magnetic structure.

3s photoemission spectra of Fe/Cu(100) films.
A simple cluster model calculation scheme which successfully describes the line shape and intensity ratio of recent spin resolved Fe 3s spectra of metallic Fe has been developed. From fitting the 3s spectra of bcc-bulk Fe, we found that the configuration interaction effect is important to the understanding of the 3s spectra. This model was applied to the Fe 3s spectra obtained from the ultrathi...
متن کاملSpin-polarized electron energy loss spectroscopy of high energy, large wave vector spin waves in ultrathin fcc Co films on Cu(001).
The realm of high energy, large wave vector spin waves in ultrathin films and at surfaces is unexplored because a suitable method was not available up to now. We present experimental data for an 8 ML thick Co film deposited on Cu(001) which show that spin-polarized electron energy loss spectroscopy can be used to measure spin-wave dispersion curves of ultrathin ferromagnetic films up to the sur...
متن کاملDetermination of critical thickness of spin reorientation in metastable magnetic ultrathin films
We investigate the spin reorientation of structurally unstable magnetic ultrathin films ~base films! using magnetic capping layers. The capping layers, whose effective anisotropy constant is opposite that of the base films, are grown on the base films with no transformed structure and induce a spin reorientation after exceeding a critical thickness. The critical thickness of the capping layers ...
متن کاملChiral asymmetry of the spin-wave spectra in ultrathin magnetic films.
We raise the possibility that the chiral degeneracy of the magnons in ultrathin films can be lifted due to the presence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions. By using simple symmetry arguments, we discuss under which conditions such a chiral asymmetry occurs. We then perform relativistic first principles calculations for an Fe monolayer on W(110) and explicitly reveal the asymmetry of the spin...
متن کاملTemperature dependence of the surface anisotropy of Fe ultrathin films on Cu(001).
We report an experimental approach to separate temperature dependent reversible and irreversible contributions to the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of Fe films grown at low temperatures on Cu(001) substrates. The surface anisotropy K(S)(T) is found to decrease linearly with temperature, causing a thermally induced spin reorientation into the plane. The irreversible shift of the spin reorien...
