Abstract
First principles calculations of the magnetic properties and the magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) of iron thin films epitaxially grown on the [001] surface of paramagnetic metals: copper, silver, gold, palladium, and platinum are presented. The role of hybridization with the substrate is investigated and it is shown how the relaxation effects influence the complex Kerr angle. The results are obtained by means of the relativistic full-potential linear muffin-tin method, and the film is modeled using a slab geometry within a supercell technique.
