Imperfect magnetic nanostructures on a Ag(001) surface
Physical Review B 59, (3),pp 1681-1684 (1999)
Ab initio calculations are presented for magnetic properties of small islands of 3d, 4d, and 5d adatoms on the Ag(001) surface, intermixed with Ag substrate atoms. We show that the intermixing of small 4d and 5d clusters can lead to an unexpected enhancement of the local moments and is very different from the intermixing behavior found in the monolayer regime.
