Abstract

We perform a first principles spin-dynamics simulation of the Fe0.5 Mno.5/Co(lll) interface in order to determine the orientational configuration of the magnetization in the ground state. We find that the magnetic configuration does not differ significantly from bulk Co in the Co, however it changes from a bulk 3Q configuration to a 1Q like antiferromagnetic configuration in Fe0.5Mn0.5. Additionally, the Fe0.5Mn0.5 moments are found to be mostly perpendicular to Co
