Dear QE users,<br> <br>I want to do calculations of thin
films of antiferromagnetic oxide like CoO. The CoO has rocksalt
structure and magnetization along (111) direction. Suppose we take 3
layers and 4 layers for of CoO along (111), then my doubt is that will
the magnetization oscillate i.e. in even number of layers it will be
zero and odd number of layers will have some finite value? Or wil the
film will show antiferrromagnetism in plane i.e. every layers of CoO
will be antiferromagnetic? And what about other directions like (001) or
(10-10) in wurtzite structure.<br>
<br>Thanks a lot in advance for help..<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Regards,<br>MOHNISH,<br>-----------------------------------------------------------------<br>Mohnish Pandey<br>Senior Project Associate,<br>Department of Chemical Engineering,<br>
