We present ab initio study of the magnetic properties of monatomic 3d transition metal (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) nanowires without and with oxygen atoms on vicinal Rh (553) surface. We considered different experimentally observed submonolayer quantities of oxygen atoms. It was found that monatomic 3d metal nanowires without oxygen are in magnetic states. Within oxidized metal nanowires oxygen atoms affect on the magnetic moments and magnetic interaction of metal atoms. This influence leads to reduced (in the case of Mn, Fe and Co atoms) or quenched (in the case of Ni atoms) magnetic moment for these metal atoms.
An ab initio study of Co monatomic nanowires (NW) magnetic properties on pure and oxygen reconstructed Cu (210) surface was performed. Strong influence of oxygen surface impurity on MAE in Co nanowire was found. High value of magnetic moment and small energy of magnetic anisotropy (MAE) were obtained in Co nanowires on pure Cu (210) surface. After oxygen reconstruction of Cu (210) surface (Cu (210)-(2×1)O) the significant enhancement of MAE was found in Co nanowires, while the magnetic moment of Co atoms is practically unchanged. Oxygen on Cu (210) surface rotates easy magnetization axis in Co NW with respect to the pure surface.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
