Abstract
Through both general arguments and numerical calculations, it is shown that orbital correlation has a more crucial effect in one-dimensional transitio n metal systems than in bulk crystals by leading to orbital polarized groun d states and predicting the easy axis of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy different from results given previously without considering orbital correla tion.
