Magnetic properties of Pd-films on piezoelectric substrates


Magnetic properties of Pd-films on piezoelectric substrates

Pankoke, V.; Gemming, S.

Abstract

We use ab-initio methods to optimizes the structure of a thin
Pd-film on the surface of different piezoelectric oxides and
calculate electronic and magnetic properties.
It is known from bulk Pd, that the valence electrons order
ferromagnetic at a critical expansion of the lattice constant.
With piezoelectric oxides it might be possible to control the
magnetization of the Pd-film by varying the structural parameters

Keywords: thin films; palladium; magnetic switch; piezo-electric oxide
