In this paper, the authors present theoretical evidence for ferromagnetism in Ru and Rh overlayers on Ag(001). These predictions are based on ab-initio, spin-polarized, electronic-structure calculations within the framework of the local spin-density approximation. For Tc, Ru, Rh, and Pd overlayers chemisorbed on Ag(001), only Ru and Rh exhibited ferromagnetism. Several metamagnetic spin states were found for the Ru overlayers.
