FePc on Co(001): Influence of surface oxidation on structure, magnetism, and exchange coupling — •Heike C.

We present a density functional theory study combined with x-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements of the electronic and magnetic properties of Fe phthalocyanine (FePc) molecules on fcc Co(001) and c(2×2)O/Co(001). On the bare Co substrate one adsorption site is clearly preferred whereas the oxygen adlayer screens the molecule-substrate interaction and the energy differences between different adsorptions sites become smaller. Moreover the coupling between the Fe center and the Co surface switches from ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic and the coupling strength is reduced due to the O layer. [1] Notably the coupling mechanisms also differ. On the Co(001) substrate a mixture of direct coupling between Fe and Co and an indirect coupling via the benzene rings is obtained from the DFT calculations whereas on the oxidized surface, an 180 coupling between Fe and Co via O dominates. Despite the changes in adsorption site and coupling, the spin state of the molecule is S=1 on both substrates.
