Tunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance of Pb and Bi adatoms and dimers on Mn/W(110) — •Soumyajyoti Haldar, Mara Gutzeit, and Stefan Heinze — Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Kiel, Leibnizstrasse 15, 24098 Kiel, Germany

Noncollinear magnetic structures at transition-metal interfaces are very promising candidates for spintronics applications [1]. A Mn monolayer on W(110) is a prominent example which exhibits a noncollinear cycloidal spin-spiral ground state with an angle of about 173 between neighboring spins. This allows to rotate the spin-quantization axis of an adatom or dimer quasicontinuously and is ideally suited to explore the angular dependence of the tunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance (TAMR) using scanning tunneling microscopy. Here [2], using density functional theory, we explored the TAMR effect of Pb and Bi adatoms and dimers adsorbed on this surface as these elements have a very strong spin-orbit coupling. Pb and Bi adatoms and dimers show a large TAMR up to 60% due to strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and the hybridization of 6p orbitals with 3d states of the magnetic layer. For dimers the TAMR also depends sensitively on the dimer orientation with respect to the crystallographic directions of the surface due to bonds formation with the surface and the symmetry of the SOC induced mixing.
