Magnetic nanostructures stabilized by surface-state electrons
Physical Review B 70, (7),pp 075414/1-5 (2004)
Performing state of the art ab initio studies, we predict that the new 3d magnetic nanostructures and superlattices on Cu(111) can be stabilized by surface state electrons. We reveal that magnetic states in these systems are determined by long-range exchange interaction between adatoms. Atomic scale simulations indicate that 3d superlattices on Cu(111) can be stable up to 25-30 K.
