Properties of low-dimensional atomic structures is a subject for intensive experimental and theoretical investigation in recent years. One of the most notable systems for further fundamental investigation are atomic chains and wires deposited on various surfaces [1]. In this work we present the first-principles study of the magnetic behavior in transition metals (TM=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) based one-dimensional monatomic and alloyed wires on vicinal Pt(111) surfaces which could be deposited at their step edges. We demonstrate that atomic wires can exhibit ferromagnetic or anti-ferromagnetic orderings due to their atomic structure and interatomic exchange interactions between different atoms and atom types (TM-TM, TM-Pt) at step edges. We find that the value of exchange interaction between TM atoms in atomic wires can be drastically changed or switch a sign by Pt atoms incoming from the step edges. Also, we show that magnetic anisotropy energy is strongly affected in that case. The spin-dynamics is investigated by means of kinetic Monte Carlo method based on transition-state theory. This work was supported by the RFBR grant RFBR N13-02-01322.
