2 Summary: motivations adiabatic spin-waves the ``magnetic force theorem results: spin-wave energies and Curie temperature of bulk Fe and Ni results: 2D systems results: dilute magnetic semiconductors (Ga 1-x Mn x As) outlook papers: M. Pajda et al., PL 85, 5424 (2000) M. Pajda et al.., PB 64, (2001) P.B., cond-mat/ L. Sandratskii and P.B., PB (in press), cond-mat/ (p)reprints:
3 Motivations? thermodynamics of itinerant ferromagnets? (temperature dependence of M s, Curie temperature,...) M S M bulk transition metals low dimensional systems (ultrathin films, surfaces,...) nanostructures (nanowires, clusters,...) T C T influence of a metallic substrate and of a capping layer Fe Cu substrate

5 thermodynamics of magnetic systems partition function: Z ( k T) = exp ε / n 1 Z M = kbt Z B n B energy energy range of interest all degrees of freedom magnetic excitations simplified model
6 Important constraints Theory Nernst theorem: ( ) S = 0 at T = 0 B (for quantum systems) 2 2 M F F S = = = = T T B B T B T= 0, B= 0 T= 0, B= 0 T= 0, B= 0 T= 0, B= 0 0 Goldstone theorem: ( q) lim 0 q 0 ω = Mermin-Wagner theorem: no LO at T >0forshort-range, isotropic interactions, in 1D- or 2D-systems generalization for long-range oscillatory interactions (e.g., KKY): (P.B., PL 87, (2001)) Experiment low temperature limit: MT ( ) T 3/2 (Bloch law) Curie temperature, critical behavior (??) high-temperature limit: Curie-Weiss law (local moment)
7 elevant magnetic excitations energy Stoner excitations Stoner excitations magnons!!! magnons wave vector two-step approach: 1. mapping onto a (classical) effective Heisenberg model H = J u u eff ij i j i j 2. statistical physics calculation M s (T), T C exchange interactions: J ij essential parameter for understanding the Curie temperature metals complicated oscillatory KKY behavior need of performing ab initio calculations
8 Calculation of thermodynamic properties MFA 2 mean-field approximation: kt B C = J0 j 3 j 0 poor description of the low-temperature regime (no collective excitations) violation of the Mermin-Wagner theorem (2D) T C is overestimated Green s function method + random phase approximation (PA, Tyablikov): spin-wave regime correctly described (T<<T C ) reasonable extrapolation to T C M = PA kt B C MS N q ω M T 3/2 ( q) Mermin-Wagner theorem well satisfied M S ( correct behavior for 2D systems) incorrect critical exponents ( = spherical model) T C T
9 Alternative approaches disordered local moments (DLM) (Gyorffy, Staunton, 1985, 1992) coupled spin-fluctuations (Kübler, 1996) DMFT (Lichtenstein, Katsnelson, Kotliar, 2001)
10 Adiabatic approximation neglect of the precession motion of the atomic magnetic moments calculation of the energy of static spin-waves adiabatic approximation valid if spin-wave precession time >> spin-precession time in exchange field interatomic hopping time i.e., if ω ( q) <<, W exchange splitting bandwidth
11 Constrained density functional theory constraining field B Hohenberg-Kohn energy functional: constrained energy functional: (Dederichs et al., 1984) [ ρ] = [ ρ] + [ ρ] + [ ρ] + [ ρ] E T E E E F HK 0 ext H xc [ ] + E o = HK ρ, B EHK ρ c ns ρ, B ( ) E cons, B B drm r ρ Ω Lagrange parameters
12 (Liechtenstein et al., 1987) Magnetic force theorem idea: try to use the variational properties of the HK functional to avoid doing self-consistent total energy calculations problem: we cannot calculate chosen apriori 0 [ ρ] (requires the knowledge of the input potential which gives ρ ( n, m) as output ) T for a charge- and spin-density ρ ( n, m) solution: use instead the Harris functional (Harris, 1985): [ ] [ ] [ ρ] w = V σ B σ eff eff 0 eff F Harris ρ, ρ, B = T B + Eext ρ + EH ρ + E xc + Econs ρ, B N el i = 1 ( ) ( w ) n( ) V ( ) ( ) ( ) T ρ, = εi eff ρ, d eff B B r r r m r Beff r [ ρ]( r) V ( r) σ B ( r) eff eff eff ( E [ ] [ ] [ ] ) ext + EH + E xc + Econs, B δρ ( r) δ ρ ρ ρ ρ w =
13 properties of the Harris functional: ( ) F Harris ρ, HK ρ, B = F B for the values ρ, B which minimize the HK functional the Harris functional is stationary (but necessarily minimal) with respect ( ) to ρ and B near the self-consistent solution ρ, B : F Harris ρ, HK ρ, B = F B + O2, ( δρ δb ) the Harris functional has been found to provide a better approximation than the HK functional for the ground state energy
14 ferromagnetic configuration 0 0 ( ) u = u constrained rotated configuration (infinitesimal rotation) 0 u = u + δu we look for a second order expansion: ( δu) A δu δu O ( δu) E = + 2 with A = J + δ J and A = A = 0 approximate the total energy energy change by using the Harris functional with ( ) trial input ρ 0, B within LDA, one obtains: N el { ( ) ( [ ])} i eff 0, 0 0, i eff 0, 0 0,0 O2 (,, ) ( ) ( ) E δu = ε w n m + δ ε w n m + δn δm δ u u B u B i = 1
15 choice of Liechtenstein et al.: input values of constraining field B = 0 with and ( δu) δu δu O2 ( δ, δ, B ) E = A + n m A = J + δ J ε F 1 J = dε Im Tr B G B G π ( xc xc ) estimation of the error: δn = O 2 δm = O B 2 = O ( δu) ( δu) ( δu) 1 O ( δn, δm, B ) = O ( δu) 2 2 therefore J J bare exchange parameters true exchange parameters
16 improved choice: input values of constraining field with and B ( = exact values) εf 1 ( xc xc ) = dε Im Tr π + εf 2 dε Im Tr( G G ) = π ( δu) δu δu ( δ ) B δu χ B B O ( δu) E = A + M K + K G B G G B G B χ calculation of the constraining fields: 1 ( ) M ( K ) δu = δu + χ B = X M K δu M K with = 4 final result: (using some matrix notations) T 1 ( ) ( ) 1 A = A + M K X M K 2 renormalized magnetic force theorem

51 Conclusions and outlook ``renormalized magnetic force theorem corrects the systematic error introduced by the ``bare magnetic force theorem no signficant additional computational effort suitable for complex systems simple approximation yields simple renormalization of spin-wave energies and Curie temperature Curie temperature of Fe and Ni are in good agreement with experimental ones (?) application to: - disordered systems (e.g., permalloy, NiPd,...) - films and surfaces - nanostructures - new materials (e.g., GaMnAs,...) needed improvements: local moments at T > T C quantum fluctuations? combination with the DMFT approach?
