Preserving the Half-Metallicity at the Heusler Alloy Surface: <?format ?>A Density Functional Theory Study
Physical review letters, 2005•APS
We have studied the stability, the electronic, and the magnetic properties of C o 2 M n S i
(001) thin films for 15 different terminations using density functional theory calculations. The
phase diagram obtained by ab initio atomistic thermodynamics shows that in practice the
MnSi, pure Mn, or pure Si terminated surfaces can be stabilized under suitable conditions.
Analyzing the surface band structure, we find that the pure Mn termination, due to its strong
surface-subsurface coupling, preserves the half-metallicity of the system, while surface …
