abstract = {Using first-principles calculations, we study the
occurrence of noncollinear magnetic order in monatomic Mn
chains. First, we focus on freestanding Mn chains and
demonstrate that they exhibit a pronounced noncollinear
ground state in a large range of interatomic distances
between atoms in the chain. By artificially varying the
atomic number of Mn we investigate how the magnetic ground
state is influenced by alloying the Mn chains with Fe and
Cr. With increasing number of 3d electrons we find a smooth
transition in the magnetic phase space starting from an
antiferromagnetic state for pure Cr chains through a regime
of noncollinear ground states for Mn-rich chains to a
ferromagnetic solution approaching the limit of pure Fe
chains. Second, we investigate the magnetism in supported Mn
chains on the (110) surfaces of Cu, Pd, and Ag. We show that
even a weak chain-surface hybridization is sufficient to
dramatically change the magnetic coupling in the chain.
Nevertheless, while we observe that Mn chains are
antiferromagnetic on Pd(110), a weak noncollinear magnetic
order survives for Mn chains on Cu(110) and Ag(110) a few
meV in energy below the antiferromagnetic solution. We
explain the sensitive dependence of the exchange interaction
in Mn chains on the interatomic distance, chemical
composition, and their environment based on the competition
between the ferromagnetic double exchange and the
antiferromagnetic kinetic exchange mechanism. Finally, we
perform simulations which predict that the noncollinear
magnetic order of Mn chains on Cu(110) and Ag(110) could be
experimentally verified by spin-polarized scanning tunneling
microscopy.},
