Abstract

AbstractThe ab initio calculations of the magnetic anisotropy of thin (to six monolayers) nickel films and iron films with unusual fcc structures formed upon intercalation of graphene with Fe atoms are presented. The data have been obtained for both the pure-surface films and the films coated with graphene. The density functional theory and the pseudopotential method are used to calculate the magnetic moments of atoms of all the layers and to determine the total energies of the structures with different orientations of magnetic moments of iron and nickel atoms with respect to the film surface. A strong influence of graphene on the magnetic properties contacting iron films is demonstrated.
