摘要

Structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of particular metal-semiconductor hybrid systems are investigated employing spin-density-functional theory within generalized gradient approximation. They consist of one up to six monolayers of cobalt on (111) and (001) surfaces of diamond and are characterized by a very small lattice mismatch of the constituents. For monolayer coverage, the Co atoms adsorb in on top sites on the C(111) surface while they adsorb in symmetric bridge sites on the C(001) surface. Strong covalent bonds arc formed between the Co 3d and C 2p orbitals which saturate all surface dangling bonds in each case. The pd bonds give rise to characteristic bonding and antibonding bands which exhibit no significant spin splitting. As a result, the magnetic moment of the Co atoms on the interface layer is considerably quenched. The magnetic moment of 0.96μ_B per Co atom for one Co adlayer on C(111) turns out to be strongly reduced with respect to 1.76μ_B for the top layer atoms of a Co(0001) surface or 1.87μ_B for a free-standing hexagonal Co monolayer. Further Co adlayers lead to an increase in the magnetization rapidly approaching 1.19μ_B at the Co interface and 1.77μ_B at the Co surface layer. For one Co adlayer on C(001), where each Co atom forms two pd bonds with the substrate, the magnetic moment per Co atom is even reduced to 0.42μ_B, as compared to 1.92μ_B for the top layer atoms of a Co(001) surface or 2.05μ_B for a free-standing cubic Co monolayer. For six Co adlayers on C(001) the magnetic moment turns out to be 0.91μ_B at the interface and 1.92μ_B at the surface layer. For both types of hybrid systems the spin polarization at the Co-C interface depends sensitively on the number of Co adlayers. For several systems it amounts to about 60% at the Fermi level.
