First-principles calculations are performed to study the electronic and magnetic properties of monolayer MnS2. Based on the electronic structure, a half-metallic state is predicted for monolayer MnS2. The magnetic moment is 3.0 [Formula: see text] per formula unit, and the main contribution is localized at the transition metal site Mn with a local moment of 3.733 [Formula: see text]. The magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) is 0.056 meV per formula unit with an easy axis perpendicular to the plane, and it indicates that monolayer MnS2 belongs to the category of Ising magnets. The positive MAE of nanosheets mainly stems from the area around [Formula: see text] in the reciprocal space. To find the microscopic origin, we take the method of the second-order spin orbit coupling. The occupied spin-up dz2 state and the unoccupied spin-down dyz states in the [Formula: see text] point through the [Formula: see text] operator make positive contributions to the MAE.

We have theoretically studied the structural, magnetic, and magneto-optical behaviours of Fe ultra-thin films pseudomorphically epitaxied on semi-infinite Ir(001). The magnetic film crystallizes in the body-centered tetragonal (bct) structure with a tetragonality ratio 1.21. The new crystalline structure of iron in the magnetic film enhances the magnetic properties and a correlation between the interlayer spacing and the magnetic moment is found. The calculation of the magnetic properties shows a ferromagnetic interlayer coupling. The polar magneto-optical Kerr effect (P-MOKE) spectra are calculated over a photon energy range extended to 10~eV. The microscopic origin of the most interesting features is explained from interband transitions in various regions of the Brillouin zone.PACS Nos.: 78.20.Bh, 78.20.Ls

Amorphous materials are of current interest due to their desirable mechanical, electrical and magnetic properties. Furthermore, crystallizing amorphous alloys provides an avenue for discerning sequential and competitive phases thus allowing access to otherwise inaccessible crystalline structures. Previous studies have shown the benefits of using AEM to determine crystal structures and compositions of partially crystallized alloys. The present paper will discuss the AEM characterization of crystallized Cu-Ti and Ni-Ti amorphous films.Cu60Ti40: The amorphous alloy Cu60Ti40, when continuously heated, forms a simple intermediate, macrocrystalline phase which then transforms to the ordered, equilibrium Cu3Ti2 phase. However, contrary to what one would expect from kinetic considerations, isothermal annealing below the isochronal crystallization temperature results in direct nucleation and growth of Cu3Ti2 from the amorphous matrix.

Iron-base alloys containing 8-11 wt.% Si, 4-8 wt.% Al, known as “Sendust” alloys, show excellent soft magnetic properties. These magnetic properties are strongly dependent on heat treatment conditions, especially on the quenching temperature following annealing. But little has been known about the microstructure and the Fe-Si-Al ternary phase diagram has not been established. In the present investigation, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been used to study the microstructure in a Sendust alloy as a function of temperature.An Fe-9.34 wt.% Si-5.34 wt.% Al (approximately Fe3Si0.6Al0.4) alloy was prepared by vacuum induction melting, and homogenized at 1,200°C for 5 hrs. Specimens were heat-treated in a vertical tube furnace in air, and the temperature was controlled to an accuracy of ±2°C. Thin foils for TEM observation were prepared by jet polishing using a mixture of perchloric acid 15% and acetic acid 85% at 10V and ∼13°C. Electron microscopy was performed using a Philips EM 301 microscope.
