摘要：

Ab initio electronic-structure calculations on the Co(001)-HfO2(001) interface are reported. The spin polarization of conduction electrons is positive at the interface, i.e., it is reversed with respect to the spin polarization in bulk Co. The electronic structure is very sensitive to the interface structure; without atomic relaxations the reversed spin polarization is not found. The possible relation with spin-polarized tunneling and magnetoresistance is discussed. [S0163-1829(98)08448-3].
