We present ab-initio calculations of the magnetic moments and magnetic anisotropy energies of small FeCo clusters of varying composition on top of a Cu(100) substrate. Three different cluster layouts have been considered, namely 2x2, 3x3 and cross-like pentamer clusters. The ratio of Co atoms with respect to the total number in a chosen cluster (``concentration) was varied and all possible arrangements of the atomic species were taken into account. Calculations have been performed fully relativistically using the embedded cluster technique in conjunction with the screened Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method and the magnetocrysergy depend on the position they occupy in a particular cluster and on the type and the number of nearest-neighbors. The MAE for the 2x2 and 3x3 clusters varies with respect to the ``concentration of Co atoms in the same manner as the corresponding monolayer case, whereas the pentamer clusters show a slightly different behavior. Furthermore, for the clusters with an easy axis along a direction in the surface plane, the MAE shows a significant angular dependence.

The influence of a transverse static magnetic field on the magnetic hyperthermia properties is studied on a system of large-losses ferromagnetic FeCo nanoparticles. The simultaneous measurement of the high-frequency hysteresis loops and of the temperature rise provides an interesting insight into the losses and heating mechanisms. A static magnetic field of only 40 mT is enough to cancel the heating properties of the nanoparticles, a result reproduced using numerical simulations of hysteresis loops. These results cast doubt on the possibility to perform someday magnetic hyperthermia inside a magnetic resonance imaging setup.
The interaction of the strong electron-acceptor tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) with the Cu(100) surface has been studied with scanning tunneling microscopy experiments and first-principles density functional theory calculations. We compare two different adsorption models with the experimental results and show that the molecular self-assembly is caused by a strong structural modification of the Cu(100) surface rather than the formation of a coordination network by diffusing Cu adatoms. Surface atoms become highly buckled and the chemisorption of TCNE is accompanied by a partial charge-transfer.
The effects of Cu-doping on the structural, magnetic, and transport properties of La0.7Sr0.3Mn1-xCuxO3 (0 < x < 0.20) have been studied using neutron diffraction, magnetization and magnetoresistance (MR) measurements. All samples show the rhombohedral structure with the R3c space-group from 10K to room temperature (RT). Neutron diffraction data suggest that some of the Cu ions have a Cu3+ state in these compounds. The substitution of Mn by Cu affects the Mn-O bond length and Mn-O-Mn bond angle resulting from the minimization of the distortion of the MnO6 octahedron. Resistivity measurements show that a metal to insulator transition occurs for the x more than 0.15 samples. The x = 0.15 sample shows the highest MR(_80%), which might result from the co-existence of Cu3+/Cu2+ and the dilution effect of Cu-doping on the double exchange interaction.
Heterogeneous atomic magnetic chains are built by atom manipulation on a Cu$_2$N/Cu (100) substrate. Their magnetic properties are studied and rationalized by a combined scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT) work completed by model Hamiltonian studies. The chains are built using Fe and Mn atoms ontop of the Cu atoms along the N rows of the Cu$_2$N surface. Here, we present results for FeMn$_x$ ($x$=1...6) chains emphasizing the evolution of the geometrical, electronic, and magnetic properties with chain size. By fitting our results to a Heisenberg Hamiltonian we have studied the exchange-coupling matrix elements $J$ for different chains. For the shorter chains, $x leq 2$, we have included spin-orbit effects in the DFT calculations, extracting the magnetic anisotropy energy. Our results are also fitted to a simple anisotropic spin Hamiltonian and we have extracted values for the longitudinal-anisotropy $D$ and transversal-anisotropy $E$ constants. These parameters together with the values for $J$ allow us to compute the magnetic excitation energies of the system and to compare them with the experimental data.
The structural and magnetic properties of Fe octaethylporphyrin (OEP) molecules on Cu(001) have been investigated by means of density functional theory (DFT) methods and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The molecules have been adsorbed on the bare metal surface and on an oxygen-covered surface, which shows a $sqrt{2}times2sqrt{2}R45^{circ}$ reconstruction. In order to allow for a direct comparison between magnetic moments obtained from sum-rule analysis and DFT we calculate the dipolar term $7< T_z>$, which is also important in view of the magnetic anisotropy of the molecule. The measured X-ray magnetic circular dichroism shows a strong dependence on the photon incidence angle, which we could relate to a huge value of $7< T_z>$, e.g. on Cu(001) $7< T_z>$ amounts to -2.07,mbo{} for normal incidence leading to a reduction of the effective spin moment $m_s + 7< T_z>$. Calculations have also been performed to study the influence of possible ligands such as Cl and O atoms on the magnetic properties of the molecule and the interaction between molecule and surface, because the experimental spectra display a clear dependence on the ligand, which is used to stabilize the molecule in the gas phase. Both types of ligands weaken the hybridization between surface and porphyrin molecule and change the magnetic spin state of the molecule, but the changes in the X-ray absorption are clearly related to residual Cl ligands.
