Abstract

The basic ingredients of a real-space tight-binding linear-muffin-tin orbital (RS-TB-LMTO) approach to non-collinear magnetism and to torque-force calculations of the magnetic anisotropy are described. Applications to face-centered-tetragonal Ni films epitaxially grown on Cu(100) substrates are presented. The tetragonal distortion of the films is calculated using an ab-initio local-density technique, and the RS-TBLMTO method is used for calculating the magnetic anisotropy in films with up to 7 Ni monolayers. The accuracy of the approach allows for a detailed analysis of secondand fourth-order anisotropy constants.
