Abstract
The electronic structure of a monolayer of Fe grown on Cu(001) and on Pd(001) surfaces is calculated from first principles. It is argued, on the basis of total energy calculations, that this is one possible way of stabilizing a ferromagnetic phase of γ-Fe. Comparison with experiments shows good agreement in the case of a monolayer of Fe in Cu. The reasons for this stability are shown to be mainly dominated by the size of the host.
