Dimensional and proximity magnetic effects in Cr/V systems

The magnetic structure of Cr/V systems is investigated at T = 0 K using real-space tight-binding approach. The magnetism is described in the Hartree–Fock approximation of the Hubbard Hamiltonian and the density of states is calculated within the recursion technique. It is found that the hybridization of the V and Cr d-bands, the change in the lattice constant, the kind and the number of coordination play important roles in determining the magnetism of Cr and V atoms. also found, that the magnetic moments of Cr, and the induced magnetic moments on V atoms have the maximum value at (0 0 1) orientation, followed by (1 1 1) orientation, and the least at (0 1 1) orientation, due to the coordination.
