Dimensional and proximity magnetic effects in Cr/V systems

Structure and magnetism of the V/Ta(001) surface: A DFT calculation

“…But, for combined systems of V with other magnetic and nonmagnetic transition metals as substrates [9,[11][12][13][14] the V overlayer was found to be magnetic in all cases. Bihlmayer et al [9] found, using the generalized gradient approximation (GGA), for V/Cr system that the V monolayer (ML) has a large magnetic moment of 2.1 mB.…”

“…Bihlmayer et al [9] found, using the generalized gradient approximation (GGA), for V/Cr system that the V monolayer (ML) has a large magnetic moment of 2.1 mB. Blügel et al [11] using the full potential linearized augumented plane wave (FLAPW) method, predicted anti-ferromagnetic (AF) configuration for V ML on a heavier paramagnetic (PM) Pd substrate.…”

“…In addition, it depends strongly on the substrate used in thin slab calculations. While a lot of studies have been done on V/Cr and V/Fe systems [6,9,11,15], less attention has been given to V/Nb or V/Ta systems. Vanadium, niobium (Nb), and tantalum (Ta) are PM transition metals that are isoelectric.…”
