The interface of the ferromagnetic metal CoS2 and the nonmagnetic semiconductor FeS2 — •Udo Schwingenschlögl and Safdar Nazir — PSE Division, KAUST, Thuwal 23955-6900, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

The electronic and magnetic properties of the cubic pyrite CoS2/FeS2 interface are studied using the all-electron full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method. We find that this contact between a ferromagnetic metal and a nonmagnetic semiconductor shows a metallic character. The CoS2 stays close to half-metallicity at the interface, while the FeS2 becomes metallic. The magnetic moment of the Co atoms at the interface slightly decreases as compared to the bulk value and a small moment is induced on the Fe atoms. Furthermore, at the interface ferromagnetic ordering is found to be energetically favorable as compared to antiferromagnetic ordering.
