Abstract

The local electronic density of states (LDOS) has been calculated for Fe-Ge(110), Fe-Ge(111) and Fe-Ge(100) interfaces and neighbouring atomic planes using the recursion method. Interface states are found to exist within the mutual gaps of the constituent atoms and strongly depending on the local atomic environments. The most excess LDOSs are found for Fe-Ge(111) interface and the least for Fe-Ge(110). The magnetic moments for Fe atoms are found to decrease when the Fe layer approaches the interface boundary, which is in accord with the experiments. The electron spin polarization parameters evaluated from the LDOS are qualitatively consistent with experimental measurements.
