In this thesis we applied a recently developed version of the Screened Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (SKKR) method for the study of the electronic and magnetic properties of three different low dimensional systems. Firstly we focussed our attention to the study of the magnetic properties at the bcc Fe/Co interfaces, and investigated in particular the relation between the magnetic profile at the interface and the hyperfine fields induced on substitutional Cd probe atoms. The results are compared with the experimental observations obtained by means of TDPAC spectroscopy. Then we took advantage of the favourable scaling of the SKKR method with the system size, and tackled the problem of the magnetic properties of nearly one-dimensional systems. In particular, we investigated the case of infinite monoatomic 4d rows placed on different Ag substrates, exploiting the idea of high Miller index surfaces. Finally, we dealt with the complex band structure of insulators, e.g. of ZnSe, MgO and SrTiO3, which can be used to describe the transport properties in Ferromagnet/Insulator/Ferromagnet junctions and showed how this complex bandstructure can be obtained by means of the SKKR method |
