abstract = {In this thesis, we investigate the magnetic properties of
3$\textit{d}$ transition-metal monolayers on 4$\textit{d}$
transition-metal substrates by means of state of the art
first-principles quantum theory. In contrast to previous
investigations on noble metal substrates, the strong
hybridization between 3$\textit{d}$ metals and the substrate
is an additional parameter determining the properties. In
order to reveal the underlying physics of these systems we
study trends by performing systematic investigations across
the transition-metal series. Case studies are presented for
which Rh has been chosen as exemplary 4$\textit{d}$
substrate. We consider two substrate orientations, a square
lattice provided by Rh(001) and a hexagonal lattice provided
by Rh(111). We find, all 3$\textit{d}$ transition-metal (V,
Cr, Mn, Fe, Co and Ni) monolayers deposited on the Rh
substrate are magnetic and exhibit large local moments which
follow Hund’s rule with a maximum magnetic moment for Mn
of about 3.7 μ$_{B}$ depending on the substrate
orientation. The largest induced magnetic moment of about
0.46 μ$_{B}$ is found for Rh atoms adjacent to the
Co(001)-film. On Rh(001) we predict a ferromagnetic (FM)
ground state for V, Co and Ni, while Cr, Mn and Fe
monolayers favor a c(2 × 2) antiferromagnetic (AFM) state,
a checkerboard arrangement of up and down magnetic moments.
The magnetic anisotropy energies of these ultrathin magnetic
films are calculated for the FM and the AFM states. With the
exception of V and Cr, the easy axis of the magnetization is
predicted to be in the film plane. With the exception of Fe,
analogous results are obtained for the 3$\textit{d}$-metal
monolayers on Rh(111). For Fe on Rh(111) a novel magnetic
ground state is predicted, a doublerow- wise
antiferromagnetic state along the [112] direction, a
sequence of ferromagnetic double-rows of atoms, whose
magnetic moments couple antiferromagetically from double row
to double row. The magnetic structure can be understood as
superposition of a left- and right-rotating flat spin
spiral. In a second set of case studies the properties of an
Fe monolayer deposited on varies hexagonally terminated hcp
(0001) and fcc (111) surfaces of 4$\textit{d}$-transition
metals (Tc, Ru, Rh, to Pd) are presented. The magnetic state
of Fe changes gradually from noncollinear 120$^{◦}$ Néel
state for Fe films on Tc, and Ru, to the double-row-wise
antiferromagnetic state on Rh, to the ferromagnetic one on
Pd and Ag. The noncollinear state is a result of
antiferromagnetic intersite exchange interactions in
combination with the triangular lattice provided by the
hexagonal surface termination of the (111) surfaces. A
similar systematic trend is observed for a Co monolayer on
these substrate, but shifted towards ferromagnetism
equivalent to one element in the periodic table. [...]},
