摘要：
The electronic properties of the interface of Fe/GaAs(001) have been investigated by using first-principles and molecular-dynamics techniques. While the ground state is ferromagnetic for all structures considered, a ferrimagnetic spin structure is found to be very close in energy (< 1 meV). The observed lowering of the magnetic moments when relaxing the atomic positions is believed to be connected to this close in energy lying metamagnetic state. On the other hand, the magnetic moments of the Fe atoms at the interface are large, which can be explained by the bulk-like behavior of the density ot states of interface atoms.
