Electronic and Magnetic Properties of Transition-Metal Surfaces, Interfaces and Overlayers

摘要

Results of calculations for the electronic and magnetic properties of transition-metal surfaces, interfaces and overlayers are presented for a variety of systems. They involve Ni, Co, Fe and Cr in a diversity of forms, including alloys, metastable configurations, and overlayers on nonmagnetic metals. The overall behavior of these systems can be interpreted in terms of four qualitative rules which are presented, analyzed, and illustrated. (ERA citation 09:046200)
