Magnetic correlations in an Fe monolayer on Rh(001) — András Deák and •László Szunyogh — Department of Theoretical Physics, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Budapest, Hungary

Motivated by recent experiment of Takada et al. [1] we studied the magnetic thin film system consisting of a monolayer of Fe deposited on a Rh(001) surface using a classical spin Hamiltonian with parameters obtained from ab initio calculations. The ground state magnetic configuration is estimated using the mean field spin susceptibility and zero-temperature Landau--Lifshitz--Gilbert spin dynamics simulations. We find that model parameters obtained from a ferromagnetic and a disordered local moment reference state result in significantly different configurations, but both show strong frustration and a sensitive dependence on layer relaxations. Our simulations lead to a complex spin-structure different as proposed from SP-STM results, which might be attributed to the influence of multiple-spin interactions missing from our model.
