Abstract

We calculate the magnetization of Ni films, with thicknesses from one to four atomic layers, on Cu(100) and Cu(111) substrates. The substrate acts to suppress the Ni magnetization; on Cu(111) only, results are consistent with a magnetically "dead" monolayer Ni film. The effect of substrate composition and orientation on film magnetization is discussed. We thus explain disparate experimental results.
