We present results of density-functional calculations on the magnetic properties of Cr, Mn, Fe and Co nano-clusters (1 to 9 atoms large) supported on Cu(001) and Cu(111). The inter-atomic exchange coupling is found to depend on competing mechanisms, namely ferromagnetic double exchange and antiferromagnetic kinetic exchange. Hybridization-induced broadening of the resonances is shown to be important for the coupling strength. The cluster shape is found to weaken the coupling via a mechanism that comprises the different orientation of the atomic d-orbitals and the strength of nearest-neighbour hopping. Especially in Fe clusters, a correlation of binding energy and exchange coupling is also revealed.

Covalent substrates can give rise to a variety of magnetic interaction mechanisms among adsorbed transition metal atoms building atomic nanostructures. We show this by calculating the ground state magnetic configuration of monoatomic 3d chains deposi

We present calculations on energy- and time-resolved two-photon photoemission spectra of images states in Cu(100) and Cu(111) surfaces. The surface is modeled by a 1D effective potential and the states are propagated within a real-space, real-time me
thod. To obtain the energy resolved spectra we employ a geometrical approach based on a subdivision of space into two regions. We treat electronic inelastic effects by taking into account the scattering rates calculated within a GW scheme. To get further insight into the decaying mechanism we have also studied the effect of the variation of the classical Hartree potential during the excitation. This effect turns out to be small.
The surface phonon dispersion curves of commensurate Xe monolayers on Cu(111) and incommensurate Xe monolayers on Cu(001) surfaces have been measured using He atom scattering (HAS) time of flight (TOF) spectroscopy. The TOF spectra are interpreted by
combining quantum scattering calculations with the dynamical matrix description of the surface vibrations. Both a vertically polarized Einstein-like mode and another, acoustic-like mode of dominantly longitudinal character, are identified. The latter mode is characterized by the presence and absence of the zone center frequency gap in the commensurate and incommensurate adlayers, respectively. The microscopic description of the TOF spectral intensities is based on the extensive theoretical studies of the interplay of the phonon dynamics, projectile-surface potentials, multi-quantum interference and projectile recoil, and their effect on the HAS spectra. Both single and multi-quantum spectral features observed over a wide range of He atom incident energies and substrate temperatures are successfully explained by the theory.
Boron forms compounds with nearly all metals, with notable exception of copper and other group IB and IIB elements. Here, we report an unexpected discovery of ordered copper boride grown epitaxially on Cu(111) under ultrahigh vacuum. Scanning tunneli
ng microscopy experiments combined with ab initio evolutionary structure prediction reveal a remarkably complex structure of 2D-Cu8B14. Strong intra-layer p-d hybridization and a large amount of charge transfer between Cu and B atoms are the key factors for the emergence of copper boride. This makes the discovered material unique and opens up the possibility of synthesizing ordered low-dimensional structures in similar immiscible systems.
Metallic superlattices where the magnetization vectors in the adjacent ferromagnetic layers are antiferromagnetically coupled by the interlayer exchange coupling through nonmagnetic spacer layers are systems available for the systematic study on anti
ferromagnetic (AF) spintronics. As a candidate of nonmagnetic spacer layer material exhibiting remarkable spin Hall effect, which is essential to achieve spin-orbit torque switching, we selected the Ir-doped Cu in this study. The AF-coupling for the Co / Cu$_{95}$Ir$_{5}$ / Co was investigated, and was compared with those for the Co / Cu / Co and Co / Ir / Co. The maximum magnitude of AF-coupling strength was obtained to be 0.39 mJ/m$^{2}$ at the Cu$_{95}$Ir$_{5}$ thickness of about 0.75 nm. Furthermore, we found a large spin Hall angle of Cu$_{95}$Ir$_{5}$ in Co / Cu$_{95}$Ir$_{5}$ bilayers by carrying out spin Hall magnetoresistance and harmonic Hall voltage measurements, which are estimated to be 3 ~ 4 %. Our experimental results clearly indicate that Cu$_{95}$Ir$_{5}$ is a nonmagnetic spacer layer allowing us to achieve moderately strong AF-coupling and to generate appreciable spin-orbit torque via the spin Hall effect.
