A novel spin modulation of work function for C adsorbed Cr/Fe(001) metal gate

Work functions and magnetic moments of C adsorbed Cr/Fe(001) surfaces with different C coverages θ and magnetic alignments (parallel or antiparallel) between Cr and Fe atom moments are investigated using first-principles methods based on density functional theory. The calculated results reveal that...
