Magnetism and electronic structure of a Dy adatom on a MgO(001) substrate — •Alexander B. Shick1,2, Eduard Belsch1,3, and Alexander I.

The electronic structure and magnetism of individual Dy atom adsorbed on the MgO(001) substrate is investigated using the combination of DFT with the Hubbard-I approximation to the Anderson impurity model (DFT+U(HIA)). The divalent Dy2+ adatom in f10 configuration is found. The calculated XAS and XMCD spectra are compared to the experimental data. Quantum tunneling between degenerate |J=8.0, Jz= ± 4.0 ⟩ states leads to formation of |J=8.0, Jz= 0.0 ⟩ ground state with an in-plane orientation of the magnetic moment. It explains absence of remanent magnetization in Dy adatom on the top of MgO(001) substrate. Our studies can provide a viable route for further investigation and prediction of the rare-earth single atom magnets.
