We investigated the bond, electronic and magnetic behavior of adsorption Yttrium atoms on Lithium (110) surface using a combination of Bond-order-length-strength(BOLS) correlation and density-functional theory(DFT). We found that adsorption Y atoms on Li(110) surfaces form two-dimensional (2D) geometric structures of hexagon, nonagon, solid hexagonal, quadrangle and triangle. The consistent with the magnetic moment are 6.66{mu}B, 5.54{mu}B, 0.28{mu}B, 1.04{mu}B, 2.81{mu}B, respectively. In addition, this work could pave the way for design new 2D metals electronic and magnetic properties.

We investigated the mechanism of Na/Ta(110) and Ta/Na(110) interfaces using a combination of bond band barrier (BBB) and zone selective electron spectroscopy (ZES) correlation. We found that 7/9 ML and 8/9 ML Ta metal on a Na(110) surface form one dimensional (1D) chain and two dimensional (2D) ring structures, respectively. Moreover, we show that on Na(110), the Ta-induced Na(110) surface binding energy (BE) shifts are dominated by quantum entrapment. On the contrary, on a Ta(110) surface, the Na-induced Ta(110) surface BE shifts are dominated by polarization. Thus, the BBB and ZES strategy could potentially be used for designing 1D and 2D metals with desired structures and properties.
Combining density-functional theory calculations and microscopic tight-binding models, we investigate theoretically the electronic and magnetic properties of individual substitutional transition-metal impurities (Mn and Fe) positioned in the vicinity of the (110) surface of GaAs. For the case of the $[rm Mn^{2+}]^0$ plus acceptor-hole (h) complex, the results of a tight-binding model including explicitly the impurity $d$-electrons are in good agreement with approaches that treat the spin of the impurity as an effective classical vector. For the case of Fe, where both the neutral isoelectronic $[rm Fe^{3+}]^0$ and the ionized $[rm Fe^{2+}]^-$ states are relevant to address scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments, the inclusion of $d$-orbitals is essential. We find that the in-gap electronic structure of Fe impurities is significantly modified by surface effects. For the neutral acceptor state $[{rm Fe}^{2+}, h]^0$, the magnetic-anisotropy dependence on the impurity sublayer resembles the case of $[{rm Mn}^{2+}, h]^0$. In contrast, for $[{rm Fe}^{3+}]^{0}$ electronic configuration the magnetic anisotropy behaves differently and it is considerably smaller. For this state we predict that it is possible to manipulate the Fe moment, e.g. by an external magnetic field, with detectable consequences in the local density of states probed by STM.
We report on the experimental observation by scanning tunneling microscopy at low temperature of ring-like features that appear around Co metal clusters deposited on a clean (110) oriented surface of cleaved p-type InAs crystals. These features are visible in spectroscopic images within a certain range of negative tunneling bias voltages due to the presence of a negative differential conductance in the current-voltage dependence. A theoretical model is introduced, which takes into account non-equilibrium effects in the small tunneling junction area. In the framework of this model the appearance of the ring-like features is explained in terms of interference effects between electrons tunneling directly and indirectly (via a Co island) between the tip and the InAs surface.
Detailed dc and ac magnetic properties of chemically synthesized Nd0.4Sr0.6MnO3 with different particle size (down to 27 nm) have been studied in details. We have found ferromagnetic state in the nanoparticles, whereas, the bulk Nd0.4Sr0.6MnO3 is known to be an A-type antiferromagnet. A Griffiths-like phase has also been identified in the nanoparticles. Further, critical behavior of the nanoparticles has been studied around the second order ferromagnetic-paramagnetic transition region (|(T-TC)/TC|{pounds} 0.04) in terms of modified Arrott plot, Kouvel-Fisher plot and critical isotherm analysis. The estimated critical exponents (b,g,d) are quite different from those predicted according to three-dimensional mean-field, Heisenberg and Ising models. This signifies a quite unusual nature of the size-induced ferromagnetic state in Nd0.4Sr0.6MnO3. The nanoparticles are found to be interacting and do not behave like ideal superparamagnet. Interestingly, we find spin glass like slow relaxation of magnetization, aging and memory effect in the nanometric samples. These phenomena have been attributed to very broad distribution of relaxation time as well as to inter-particle interaction. Experimentally, we have found out that the dynamics of the nanoparticle systems can be best described by hierarchical model of spin glasses.
The electronic structure around a single As antisite in GaAs is investigated in bulk and near the surface both in the stable and the metastable atomic configurations. The most characteristic electronic structures of As antisite is the existence of the localized p-orbitals extending from the As antisite. The major component of the highest occupied state on As antisite in the stable configuration is s-orbital connecting with neighboring As atoms with nodes whereas that in the metastable configuration is p-orbital connecting without nodes. Localized p-orbitals on the surrounding As atoms around the As antisite exist in every configuration of As antisite. Such features are retained except the case of the As antisite located just in the surface layer in which the midgap level is smeared into the conduction band and no localized states exist near the top of the valence band. Scanning tunneling microscopic images of defects observed in low-temperature grown GaAs, possibly assigned as As antisite, the origin of the metastability, and the peculiarity of the defects in the surface layer are discussed.
