Magnetism in surfaces: an orbital-resolved study

In this paper we carry out a detailed orbital (ℓ-m-ms) resolved study of the way in which the local magnetic moment changes as we go from the bulk to a planar or a rough surface. For a rough surfaces (FCC Ni (1 0 0) and BCC Fe (1 0 0) surfaces) we shall concentrate on specific structures on them and study the way in which local environment affects the local magnetic moment. Results will be shown for Fe, Co and Ni planar surfaces.
