Abstract

A surprisingly unstable monoatomically deposited FeCo L1₀ structure was observed. This instability was confirmed to be a direct reflection of an L1₀→B2 structural phase transition induced by the relative electronic stability of the two alloy phases in reduced dimensionality, as revealed by first-principles calculations.
