At least experimentally, you certainly do NOT have many free standing Fe-
monolayers. Most likely, you have some multilayer system, where the Fe-layers
are separated by some other substrate. 
Most likely you should simulate such a system, where the substrate can
be simulated by a few layers (eg. 10) only.
