Nanoskyrmion engineering with sp -electron materials: Sn monolayer on a SiC(0001) surface

Abstract: Materials with sp-magnetism demonstrate strongly nonlocal Coulomb interactions, which opens a way to probe correlations in the regimes not achievable in transition metal compounds. By the example of Sn monolayer on SiC(0001) surface, we show that such systems exhibit unusual but intriguing magnetic properties at the nanoscale. Physically, this is attributed to the presence of a significant ferromagnetic coupling, the so-called direct exchange, which fully compensates ubiquitous antiferromagnetic interactions o… Show more

“…The nickel moment from the Wannier analysis (and its dependence on R + 1 ) is in good agreement (∼ 0.01 µ B ) with the moments in Ni PAW spheres. This indicates that the magnetism is localized around the atoms, instead of in the interstitial regions 47 . Similarly to the PAW estimation, the Wannier based oxygen magnetic moments for all magnetic configurations are very small (less than 0.05 µ B ).…”

“…This can be related to the following factors: (i) Along the zigzag direction, cobalt adatoms are placed much closer to each other, enhancing the FM direct exchange coupling [39,40]; (ii) The Co-P-Co angle for zigzag HH and LL configurations equals to 74.5…”
