摘要
The effects of a manganese atom on the magnetic order and magnetic moments of FenMn (n = 1-12) clusters have been investigated using the all-electron density functional theory. The results reveal that the Fe-Mn couplings in the lowest-energy structures of Fe,, Mn (n = 1-12) clusters undergo a change from ferromagnetic ordering for the smallest (n = 1. 2) clusters to ferrimagnetic ordering for the intermediate (n = 3-6) clusters. Starting from n = 7, however, ferromagnetic Fe-Mn couplings completely prevail. The low coordination number of the doped Mn atom results in it having a high spin moment in the Fe-Mn binary clusters, which exhibits a marked magnetic moment surface enhancement effect.
