21. This observation indicates that the Fe AFM state is largely unaffected by the adsorbate. Since its chemical nature is unknown, though, we cannot give a detailed interpretation of the data.

24. We have also studied the p(2 × 1) AFM configuration, where the Fe moments show a row-wise arrangement. The total energy curve lies between the c(2 ×7 2) AFM and the FM solution, with a minimum at d = 2.53 a.u., 61 meV/Fe atom above the c(2 × 2) AFM state.
