The magnetic properties of Mn nanostructures on Fe(001) surface have been studied using the noncollinear first-principles RS-LMTO-ASA (Real-Space Linear Muffin Tin Orbital Atomic Sphere Approximation) [1] method within density functional theory. We have considered a variety of nanostructures such adsorbed wires, pyramids, flat and intermixed clusters of sizes varying from two and nine atoms. Our calculations of interatomic exchange interactions reveal the long range nature of exchange interactions between Mn-Mn and Mn-Fe atoms. We have found that the strong dependence of these interactions of the local environment and the effect of spin-orbit coupling lead to the possibility of realizing complex magnetic structures such as helical and half skyrmion.
