Magnetic nanostructures, such as dots and dot arrays, nanowires, multilayers and
nanojunctions, are reviewed and compared with bulk magnets. The emphasis is on the …

Recent trends in the emerging field of surface-supported magnetic nanostructures are
reviewed. Current strategies for nanostructure synthesis are summarized, followed by a …

Atomic clusters are aggregates of atoms containing a few to several thousand atoms. Due to
the small size of these pieces of matter, the properties of atomic clusters in general are …

One-dimensional Co atomic wires grown on Pt (997) have been investigated by x-ray
magnetic circular dichroism. Strong changes of the magnetic properties are observed as the …

We report on a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the magnetic
anisotropy of Fe and Co ultrathin layers on strongly polarizable metal substrates. Monolayer …

The magnetic and electronic properties of both linear and zigzag atomic chains of all 3 d
transition metals have been calculated within density functional theory with the generalized …

We present ab initio density functional calculations of the magnetic anisotropy of dimers of
the transition-metal atoms from groups 8 to 10 of the Periodic Table. Our calculations are …

We report the synthesis and characterization of well-defined CoPt clusters with a mean
diameter of 3 nm, produced in ultrahigh vacuum conditions following a physical route …

Based on the Fermi surface breathing model of Kamberský, a phenomenological extension
of the ab initio density-functional electron theory is used to derive an equation of motion for …

We explore the emergence of chiral magnetism in one-dimensional monatomic Mn, Fe, and
Co chains deposited at the Pt (664) step edge carrying out an ab initio study based on …
