Based on the Density Functional Theory (DFT) with noncollinear-magnetism formulations, we have calculated the magnetism of single 3d transition-metal atoms and the magnetic anisotropies of supported Ni chains on the Au(110)-(1 × 2) surface. Our results for single absorbed 3d transition-metal atoms show that the surface relaxations enhance the orbital moments of left-end elements (Ti, V) and quenches the orbital moments of right-end elements (Fe, Co, Ni) on the Au(110)-(1 × 2) surface. The magnetic anisotropies of Ni atomic chains on the surface are closely related to orbital quenching. The easy magnetized axes change from the direction parallel to the chains to the direction perpendicular to the Ni chains when they absorb on the surface.
