Magnetic Anisotropy of 3d-Transition Metal Clusters, Chains, and Thin Films

  • Chapter
Book cover Current Problems in Condensed Matter

Abstract

Recent theoretical results on the magneto-anisotropic properties of low-dimensional transition-metal systems are reviewed. The magnetic anisotropy energy and related electronic properties of finite clusters, one-dimensional chains and ultra, thin films are discussed in the framework of a self-consistent tight-binding approach.
