We investigated electronic structure and magnetic anisotropy in the Fe/MgO interface of magnetic metal and dielectric insulator under the Cr layer of small electronegativity, by means of the first-principles density functional approach. The result indicates that the interface resonance state gets occupied unlike a typical rigid band picture as the number of Fe layers decreases, finding large perpendicular anisotropies in the oscillating behavior for thickness dependence. We discuss scenarios of the two dimensional van Hove singularity associated with flat band dispersions, and also the accuracies of anisotropy energy in comparison with the available experimental data.
