Surface and interface magnetism of iron

Magnetisation depth profiles in trilayer systems with mixed–spin interfaces—a contribution to temperature dependent GMR-potentials

“…Now, it is well known that the magnetisation behaviour in the interface region is one of the most important features, but its knowledge still needs further investigations [2][3][4][5][6][7]. Already two decades ago, Wimmer, Freeman, Fu, Erskine and others showed us the existence of 2D-interface magnetism instead of surface (and interface) magnetically ''dead'' layers suggested earlier by theoreticians but not found by experimentalists [8][9][10]. Since then many experimental evidences have indicated a macroscopic contribution of surface/interface properties.…”

Ultrathin Fe layers on Ag (100) surface

“…Turning the Fe bcc lattice by 45°might result in almost perfect registry (0.8% mismatch) of the surfaces. This interest has extended to surface layers [1][2][3][4][5][6], to multilayers [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] and to small aggregates [15][16][17][18]. Numerous papers have been published on the magnetic interactions in Fe/Ag layers.…”
