Abstract
Different magnetic states for a given real structure are known for bul k metals and alloys and also for free transition metal clusters. We ha ve calculated the magnetic properties of small 3d transition metal clu sters on the Cu(001) surface by means of an ab initio KKR Green's func tion method. It is shown that multiple magnetic states exist in these nanostructures. High spin and low spin ferromagnetic states as well as antiferromagnetic states occur. The energy differences between the di fferent states are calculated.
