Abstract: The adsorption of single magnetic atoms and atomic-thin magnetic layers on surfaces and two-dimensional materials presents a unique opportunity for the construction of highly compact and efficient nanostructures, with potential applications in spintronics and spin-orbitronics. This thesis employs density functional theory-based calculations to deepen our understanding of the physics of 4f electrons by investigating the essential characteristics of rare-earth atoms adsorbed onto two-dimensional materials. These investigations provide valuable insights into magnetic anisotropy and related phenomena, shedding light on the complex interplay between factors such as spin-orbit coupling, symmetry, crystal field, and topological features that govern observed behaviors. The promising results obtained highlight the importance of further exploration of such systems with the ultimate aim of designing and tailoring magnetic nanostructures.
