Abstract
In this work, we analyze the magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) of Fe cylinders embedded within zigzagcarbonnanotubes,bymeansofabinitiocalculations.Toseetheinfluenceoftheconfinement,wefixtheFe cylinder diameter and we follow the changes of the MAE as a function of the diameter of the nanotube, which contains the Fe cylinder. Wefind that the easy axis changes from parallel to perpendicular, with respect to the cylinder axis. The orientation change depends quite strongly on the confinement, which indicates a nontrivial dependence of the magnetization direction as function of the nanotube diameter. We alsofind that the MAE is affected by where the Fe cylinder sits with respect to the carbon nanotube, and the coupling between these two structures could also dominate the magnetic response. We analyze the thermal stability of the magnetization orientation of the Fe cylinder close to room temperature.

Impact of surface strain on the spin dynamics of deposited Co nanowires

Abstract: Tailoring the magnetic properties at atomic-scale is essential in the engineering of modern spintronics devices. One of the main concerns in the novel nanostructured materials design is the decrease of the paid energy in the way of functioning, but allowing to switch between different magnetic states with a relative low-cost energy at the same time. Magnetic anisotropy (MA) energy defines the stability of a spin in the preferred direction and is a fundamental variable in magnetization switching processes. Transition-metal wires are known to develop large, stable spin and orbital magnetic moments together with MA energies that are orders of magnitude larger than in the corresponding solids. Different ways of controlling the MA have been exploited such as alloying, surface charging, and external electrical fields. Here we investigate from a first-principle approach together with dynamic calculations, the surface strain driven mechanism to tune the magnetic properties of deposited nanowires. We consider as a...
