Theoretical study of induced V polarization at the interface with Fe in FenVm superlattices
Abstract
Abstract Recent experimental and theoretical studies have displayed induced V polarization in Fe n V m superlattices. We have performed TB-LMTO calculations of Fe5V m following the experimental configuration of Tomaz et al. (1997, J. Phys. condens. Matter , 9 , L179). We found a short-range induced polarization of V in agreement with previous calculations (Hamada et al. 1984 J. Phys . F, 14 , 2371; Vega et al. 1991 J. appl. Phys ., 69 , 4544; Coehoorn 1995, J. Magn. magn. Mater ., 151 , 341) but in disagreement with Tomaz et al. Both (001) and (011) crystallographic orientations have been studied.
