AB INITIO CALCULATIONS of MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF SURFACES, INTERFACES and MULTILAYERS

Objective



The Network will provide 336 person-months of training to young important and highly challenging ones in ab-initio electronic structure post-doctoral researchers. Networking money is also available to Ph.D. calculations of magnetic properties. Four of these projects will include students of the teams, leading to an additional 80 person-months of studies of the most recent discoveries of interlayer coupling, giant training at partner institutions. Moreover, we will organize an annual magnetoresistance and magnetic X-ray dichroism. The remaining two projects Network meeting, a hands-on course and a summer school.
concern the implementation of new technical developments in electronic structure calculations to construct a new generation of codes able to deal with ever larger systems.
The primary aim would be to provide a basic understanding of interlayer coupling, giant magnetoresistance and surface structure by performing quantitative ab-initio calculations for realistic systems. Moreover, and also in response to the need of our experimental friends, the validity of these calculations would be verified by detailed comparison against experimental data, spectroscopic ones in particular. Finally, and of large potential industrial impact, our proposal would also address the huge problem of understanding the effects of disorder in these layered materials on a microscopic scale.
