We present an investigation of the one-dimensional ferromagnetism in Au–Co nanowires deposited on the Cu(110)surface. By using the density functional theory, the influence of the nonmagnetic copper substrate Cu(110) on the magnetic properties of the bimetallic Au–Co nanowires is studied. The results show the emergence of magnetic anisotropy in the supported Au–Co nanowires. The magnetic anisotropy energy has the same order of magnitude as the exchange interaction energy between Co atoms in the wire. Our electronic structure calculation reveals the emergence of new hybridized bands between Au and Co atoms and surface Cu atoms. The Curie temperature of the Au–Co wires is calculated by means of kinetic Monte Carlo simulation. The strong size effect of the Curie temperature is demonstrated.
