  • 희토류 금속이나 4d/5d 전이금속을 포함하지 않은 3d 전이금속 Fe와 Ni 원소만을 적절하게 배열해도 강한 수직 자기이방성을 가질 수 있음을 예측한 이론 계산 결과가 최근 보고된 바 있다. 그 계산에서는 Fe 층을 표면으로 하는 계만을 고려하였는데 본 논문에서는 Ni가 표면일 때의 자기이방성 에너지를 제일원리계산 방법으로 계산하여 자기이방성을 조절할 수 있는 방안이 있을 수 있는지를 알아 보았다. Fe(001) 표면에 Ni 원소 한 층이 덮였을 때[Ni/Fe(001)]의 자성과 자기이방성을 제일원리계산 방법으로 VASP과 FLAPW 방법을 상호 보완적으로 사용하면서 계산 결과를 비교해 보았다. VASP에 의한 결과는 FLAPW 방법으로 얻은 결과와 큰 차이가 없었고, Fe와 Ni의 강한 띠 혼합으로 Fe와 Ni의 자기모멘트가 모두 증가하였으며 Ni/Fe(001)은 수평 자기이방성을 가지는 것으로 계산되었다. 원자 별 자기이방성 기여도 계산에 의하면 자기이방성에 결정적인 역할을 하는 것은 Ni표면 층임을 알 수 있었다.

  • The structural and magnetic properties of functionalized carbon chains doped with 4d transition metals, such as Ru, Rh, and Pd, were investigated using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method. The carbon nanowire doped with Ru exhibited a ferromagnetic ground state with a sizable magnetic moment, while those doped with Rh and Pd had nonmagnetic ground states. For the Ru-doped chain, the density of states at the Fermi level showed large spin polarization, which suggests that the doped nanowire could be used for spintronic applications.

  • The convergence behavior of the all-electron full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave (FLAPW) method with the explicit orthogonalization (XO) scheme is tested on ferromagnetic bulk body-centered-cubic Fe. Applying a commonly used criterion relating the plane-wave and angular momentum cutoffs, $l_{max}\;=\;R_{MT}K_{max}$, where $R_{MT}$ is the muffin-tin (MT) sphere radius and $K_{max}$ is the plane-wave cutoff for the basis - the total energy is converged and stable for $K_{max}R_{MT}$ = 10. The total energy convergence dependence on the star-function cutoff, $G_{max}$, is minimal and so a $G_{max}$ of 3$K_{max}$ or a large enough $G_{max}$ is a reasonable choice. We demonstrate that the convergence with respect to $l_{max}$ or a fixed large enough $G_{max}\;and\;K_{max}$ are independent, and that $K_{max}$ provides a better measure of the convergence than $R_{MT}K_{max}$. The dependence of the total energy on $R_{MT}$ is shown to be small if the core states are treated equivalently, and that the XO scheme is able to treat systems with significantly smaller $R_{MT}$ than the standard LAPW method. For converged systems, the calculated lattice parameter, bulk modulus, and magnetic moments are in excellent agreement with the experimental values.

  • This study examined the magnetic properties of ultrathin Fe/Ni films on a Cu(001) surface using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method. The magnetic moment of Fe/Ni films was found to be insensitive to strain. Nevertheless, strain had a significant influence on the magnetization direction. For example, Fe/Ni films showed a thickness-dependent spin reorientation transition in the presence of strain, while the Fe/Ni films grown pseudomorphically on Cu(001) always showed perpendicular magnetization. In addition, the theoretically calculated X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) was examined.

  • Thermoelectic properties of the typical thermoelectric host materials, the tellurides and selenides, are known to be noticeably changed by their volume change due to the strain [1]. In the bismuth telluride ($Bi_2Te_3$) crystal, a substitution of rare-earth element by replacing one of the Bi atoms may cause the change of the lattice parameters while remaining the rhombohedral structure of the host material. Using the first-principles approach by the precise full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method [2], we investigated the Ce substitution effect on the thermoelectric transport coefficients for the bismuth telluride, employing Boltzmann's equation in a constant relaxation-time approach fed with the FLAPW wave-functions within the rigid band approximation. Depending on the real process of re-arrangement of atoms in the cell to reach the equilibrium state, $CeBiTe_3$ was found to manifest a metal or a narrow bandgap semiconductor. This feature along with the strong correlation effect originated by the 4f states of Ce affect significantly on the thermoelectric properties. We showed that the position of the strongly localized f-states in energy scale (Fig. 1, f-states are shaded) was found to alter critically the transport properties in this material suggesting an opportunity to improve the thermoelectric efficiency by tuning the external strain which may changing the location of the f-sates.

  • Pd(001) 위에 올려진 Tc 0.5(Half-monolayer) 웃층의 자성상태와 전자구조를 FLAPW(Full-Potential Linearized Augmented Plane Wave) 에너지 띠 방법을 이용하여 이론적으로 연구하였다. Tc 웃층의 안정된 자성상태를 알아보기 위해 상자성 상태와 강자성 상태의 총에너지를 계산하였다. 계산결과 Tc 0.5 웃층은 강자성 상태가 상자성 상태보다 에너지적으로 안정하였고 그 자기 모멘트는 2.09 $\mu$B이었다. 0.5층 Tc/Pd(001)에 대한 머핀-핀(MT) 구 내의 전자수와 상태밀도 등의 전자구조 계산결과를 제시하고 논의 검토하였다.

  • CsCl 구조를 가진 VRu(001) 표면의 자기적 성질을 일반기울기근사(GGA)를 채택한 총퍼텐셜선형보강평면파(FLAPW) 에너지 띠 계산 방법을 이용하여 이론적으로 연구하였다. 이를 위해 각기 V 및 Ru 원자층으로 끝나는 두 개의 (001) 표면을 고려하였다. 계산된 머핀-틴 구 내의 다수 및 소수 전자의 수로부터 V로 끝나는 표면의 자기모멘트는 $1.71_{{\mu}_B}$로 매우 큰 값을 가졌으며, Ru로 끝나는 표면은 자성이 거의 없는 것으로 계산되었다. 이러한 자성을 계산된 스핀분극상태밀도와 스핀전하밀도와 연관지어 설명하였다.

  • The fundamental properties of $Fe_3P$ intermetallic compound was investigated in terms of the FLAPW method within GGA. The FM state of $Fe_3P$ was found to be energetically more stable compared to the NM one. It is consistent with the experiment. In addition, the calculated magnetic moments of Fe atoms were calculated to be 2.367, 1.665, and 2.104 ${\mu}B$ for FeI, FeII, and FeIII atoms, respectively.
