Description
We analyze the impact of the magnetic anisotropy on the geometric structure and magnetic ordering of small atomic clusters of palladium, iridium, platinum and gold, using Density Functional Theory. Our results highlight the absolute need to include self-consistently the spin orbit interaction in any simulation of the magnetic properties of small atomic clusters, and a complete lack of universality in the magnetic anisotropy of small-sized atomic clusters.
