Molecular Dynamic Simulation of atomic deposition between MnAs cluster — •Andreas Rühl and Christian Heiliger — I. Physikalisches Institut, Justus Liebig University Giessen, D-35392, Germany

MnAs is a promising ferromagnetic material for magnetoelectronic devices, in particular as nano-scaled clusters, providing a great tunability concerning the shape and position. We investigate hexagonal MnAs clusters which are separated by a metal. Such structures could be produced by using a FIB (focused ion beam) two disconnect two touching MnAs clusters and to deposit a metal between them. We succesfully implemented a molecular dynamic program to simulate the atomic deposition of the metal atoms on the surface of the MnAs cluster. The necessary effective interaction potentials between the simulation participants are gained by means of a force matching method, where the effective potentials are fitted to ab initio data.
