First-principles calculations were conducted to investigate the structural,electronic,and magnetic properties of single Fe atoms and Fe dimers on Cu2N/Cu(100).Upon adsorption of an Fe atom onto Cu2N/Cu(100),robust Fe-N bonds form,resulting in the incorporation of both single Fe atoms and Fe dimers within the surface Cu2N layer.The partial occupancy of Fe-3d orbitals lead to large spin moments on the Fe atoms.Interestingly,both single Fe atoms and Fe dimers exhibit in-plane magnetic anisotropy,with the magnetic anisotropy energy(MAE)of an Fe dimer exceeding twice that of a single Fe atom.This magnetic anisotropy can be attributed to the predominant contribution of the component along the x direction of the spin-orbital coupling Hamiltonian.Additionally,the formation of Fe-Cu dimers may further boost the magnetic anisotropy,as the energy levels of the Fe-3d orbitals are remarkably influenced by the presence of Cu atoms.Our study manifests the significance of uncovering the origin of magnetic anisotropy in engineering the magnetic properties of magnetic nanostructures.
