20. [L. M. Sandratskii, E. Şaşioǧlu, and P. Bruno, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.73.014430 73, 014430 (2006)]. We compute the anisotropy for some 1 ML cases, and find that it depends rather sensitively on the detailed configuration of atoms in the monolayer, ranging from 0.3 to 20 meV. It is sufficient to stabilize the FM in this 2D structure, so we can reasonably neglect it in these calculations.
