الوصف: Using density functional theory, we carried out systematic calculations for a series of ultrathin iron layers with thicknesses ranging from one atomic monolayer to eleven monolayers (up to about 1.5 nm). We considered three cases: (1) iron layers both on a gold substrate and coated with gold, (2) iron layers on a gold substrate but without coverage, and (3) freestanding iron layers adjacent to a vacuum. For our models, we chose initial bcc Fe(001) surfaces and fcc Au(001) substrates. Based on the calculations, we determined the details of the geometry and magnetic properties of the systems. We calculate lattice parameters, magnetic moments, Curie temperatures and magnetocrystalline anisotropy energies. From the thickness dependence, we determined the volume and surface contributions to the magnetic anisotropy constant. The further analysis allowed us to determine the thickness ranges of the occurrence of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, as well as the effect of thickness and the presence of a substrate and cap layer on the direction of the magnetization easy axis.
