Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The magnetic anisotropy (MA) and electric-field control of MA energy of 4d transition-metal thin-film were investigated by using first-principles calculations. The MA is an important property for storage applications such as magnetic random access memories (MRAM). For the free-standing monolayer, we found that only a Ru monolayer become perpendicular MA applicable of MRAM. For a Ru monolayer on MgO substrate, both MA energy and its rate of change against electric-field are about 3 times as large as those for an Fe monolayer on MgO substrate. These results have provided a guideline for material search in the theoretical design of ferromagnetic thin-films for high density and low power consumption.
