Relating results of the full-potential Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method for noncollinear magnetism from first principles to a Heisenberg model, we show that the magnetic structure changes dramatically across the entire nanowire if one single atom is added to it. Infinite and finite even-numbered nanochains exhibit always noncollinear magnetism, while odd-numbered wires lead under given conditions to a collinear ferrimagnetic ground state. This extremely nonlocal effect occurs only for nanosized wires.}, keywords = {J (WoSType)}, cin = {IFF-3 / IFF-1 / JARA-FIT / JARA-SIM}, ddc = {550}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)VDB783 / I:(DE-Juel1)VDB781 / $I:(DE-82)080009_20140620$ / I:(DE-Juel1)VDB1045}, pnm = {Kondensierte Materie}, pid = {G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK414}, shelfmark = {Physics, Multidisciplinary}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, UT = {WOS:000258975100060}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.101.107204}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/467}, }
