Magnetic Exchange Coupling of Iron-Porphyrin to c(2x2) Oxygen-reconstructed Co(100) Surfaces: Insights from Ab initio Theory — •Md. Ehesan Ali and Peter Oppeneer — Department of Physics and Astronomy, Uppsala University, Box 516, S-751 20 Uppsala, Sweden

The spin-interface magnetic properties of Fe-porphyrins adsorbed on c(2x2) oxygen-reconstructed Co(100) surfaces have been studied applying density functional theory.[1,2] The electrostatic interaction between electronegative oxygen atoms and the pi-electron cloud of the porphyrin plays a vital role in the binding mechanism of porphyrins to the oxygen-reconstructed surfaces. We have investigated this using various dispersion interactions included functionals in combination with the on-site Coulomb correlation corrected DFT+U method. The surface diffusion of porphyrin molecules is determined from finite-temperature ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, which reveal a promising possibility of controlling the interface magnetic properties upon controlling the molecule-surface dynamics.[3]
