18. Further XMCD data, not shown here, prove that in the case of monowires, the in-plane (70°) direction along the steps is slightly harder than the polar direction. At 0.5 ML in-plane measurements along and perpendicular to the steps (both measured at 70°) have a similar M (B).

26. The supercell is constructed of three layers which represent the fcc (111) stacking and of one additional layer which represents vacuum. The first two layers are filled by eight atoms each. The third layer is filled by two Pt and three Fe atoms, whereas the three remaining sites are empty. Each of the two Fe atoms represents one of the two parallel wires.
