Dy adatom on MgO(001) substrate: DFT+U(HIA) study
read the original abstract
The electronic structure and magnetism of individual Dy atom adsorbed on the MgO(001) substrate is investigated using the combination of the density functional theory with the Hubbard-I approximation to the Anderson impurity model (DFT+U(HIA)). The divalent Dy$^{2+}$ adatom in $f^{10}$ configuration is found. The calculated x-ray absorption (XAS) and magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectra are compared to the experimental data. Quantum tunneling between degenerate $|{J=8.0, J_z= \pm 4.0}>$ states leads to formation of $|{J=8.0, J_z= 0.0}>$ ground state with an in-plane orientation of the magnetic moment. It explains absence of remanent magnetization in MgO adatom on the top of Mg(001) substrate. Our studies can provide a viable route for further investigation and prediction of the rare-earth single atom magnets.
