Investigating Effects of Magnetic Anisotropy in Three-Layer Metal Nanostructures Based on Iron Films

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The energy and magnetic properties of Fe/Cr/Fe and Fe/Pt/Fe systems are studied using the spin density functional theory and the VASP software. Calculated dependences of the total energy on the angle of the magnetic moment of atoms show the advantage of the perpendicular anisotropy of Fe/Cr/Fe for all considered Fe film thicknesses and surface orientations. A more complex dependence is observed for Fe/Pt/Fe, but easy-plane anisotropy predominates upon an increase in the iron film thickness.
