Spin and orbital magnetic moments of a selected Fe atom as a function of its position in the cluster and of the number of Co neighbors. For the actual configuration see the panel to the right. The dashed horizontal lines refer to the corresponding Fe/ Cu100 monolayer values with the magnetization along the coordinate z axis. The dash-dotted horizontal lines refer to those with the magnetization along the xy axis.

... the atom at the central position in the cluster has four coordinated atoms, an atom at a corner position has only one. Figure 2 illustrates the variation of S and L of particular Fe atoms with respect to changes of neighboring atoms. In the left panel the magnetic moments of the central Fe atom are displayed and in the right panel those of an Fe atom in a corner position are shown. ...
