Mvt. Costa et al., EXCHANGE STIFFNESS CONSTANT OF 2-DIMENSIONAL NI (100), (110) AND (111) ORIENTATIONS, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 121(1-3), 1993, pp. 170-172
The exchange stiffness constant D of unsupported fcc (100), (110) and
(111) nickel monolayers are calculated. It is shown that D is highly a
nisotropic for the (110) orientation. The relation between the strengt
h of the magnetic coupling in the ground-state and the electronic stru
cture of the monolayers is pointed out.
