CINECA IRIS Institutional Research Information System
IRIS è la soluzione IT che facilita la raccolta e la gestione dei dati relativi alle attività e ai prodotti della ricerca. Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.
EnglishDetailed first-principles calculations are performed to predict the favoured adsorption sites, ground state magnetic alignment, and electronic properties of Mn on a Ge (111) clean unreconstructed surface, in order to shed light on the physical mechanisms which drive adsorption. In this geometry, Mn is predicted to adsorb on the surface interstitial site with a ferromagnetic half-metallic ground state. Nevertheless, an energetically competing site is the substitutional subsurface site, which leads to a nonmagnetic ground state due to its large site coordination. Possible competing adsorption paths are also discussed, which, thanks to surface effects, may lead to incorporation into different sites.

| Abstract: | Detailed first-principles calculations are performed to predict the favoured adsorption sites, ground state magnetic alignment, and electronic properties of Mn on a Ge (111) clean unreconstructed surface, in order to shed light on the physical mechanisms which drive adsorption. In this geometry, Mn is predicted to adsorb on the surface interstitial site with a ferromagnetic half-metallic ground state. Nevertheless, an energetically competing site is the substitutional subsurface site, which leads to a nonmagnetic ground state due to its large site coordination. Possible competing adsorption paths are also discussed, which, thanks to surface effects, may lead to incorporation into different sites. |
