Skyrmions are localized and topologically stabilized non-collinear spin structures. Isolated skyrmions offer attractive perspectives for future spintronic applications because they can be manipulated at lower current densities than domain walls [1]. Isolated skyrmions have been stabilized and manipulated in the Pd/Fe ultra-thin film on Ir(111) [2]. An effective Hamiltonian parameterized via density functional theory (DFT) has predicted a Curie temperature (Tc) of 100K [3]. Recently, we have shown that Tc could be increased in a multilayer geometry [4]. Here we report on a DFT study of the magnetic interactions of an Fe double-layer on Ir(111) [5]. We determine the magnetic interactions depending on the surface reconstruction and show that the Fe double-layer can be stabilized by the reconstruction from a (111) to a (110) surface. [1] A.
