Magnetic anisotropy of 4f atoms on a WSe2 monolayer: a DFT + U study by Johanna P. Carbone, Gustav Bihlmayer, Stefan Blügel

“…Abstract Inspired by recent advancements in the field of single-atom magnets, particularly those involving rare-earth (RE) elements, we present a theoretical exploration employing DFT+U calculations to investigate the magnetic properties of selected 4f atoms, specifically Eu, Gd, and Ho, on a monolayer of the transition-metal dichalcogenide WSe2 in the 1H-phase. This study comparatively examines RE with diverse 4f orbital fillings and valence chemistry, aiming to understand how different coverage densities atop WSe2 affect magnetocrystalline anisotropy. …”
