Abstract

Some recent developments of first-principles local density electronic structure theory to the determination of the properties of interfaces and multilayers are described. These include (i) both bilinear and biquadratic exchange coupling and (ii) spin-orbit coupling induced phenomena such as magneto-crystalline anisotropy, orbital magnetic moments and magnetic circular dichroism.
