Abstract

We report self-consistent band-structure calculations for the magnetism of Cr overlayers adsorbed on Fe(001) in order to study the role played by imperfect Fe-Cr interfaces, at the microscopic and macroscopic scales, on the total magnetisation. The surprisingly large reduction of the total magnetisation (≈ - 5 μB/interfacial atom) recently observed in Cr/Fe(001) through in situ magnetometer measurements is shown to be reproduced only when an interchange of one Cr and Fe monolayer at the interface after deposition of the second Cr monolayer occurs.
