| Description |
We employ first principles calculations to understand the
surface termination dependent structural and magnetic properties
of (0001) SmCo5 surface slabs. For our study, three
different sub-layer terminated surface slabs, namely Co3–
(SmCo2–Co3)n, SmCo2–(Co3–SmCo2)n, and (Co3–SmCo2)n
with thicknesses varying from n ¼ 1 to n ¼ 10, are considered.
Our results revealed that the Co3 sub-layer terminated surface
slab (first case) has higher structural stability, spin polarization,
and work function when compared to the other two cases and
such terminated surface slabs can be potentially used for
fabricating exchange-coupled magnets
