Abstract The electronic structures and magnetism of Fe nanowires along the [110] direction on Cu(001) and Ag(001) [Fe(nw)/Cu(001) and Fe(nw)/Ag(001)] are investigated by using the all-electron full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method in the generalized gradient approximation. It is found that the magnetic moment of Fe atom for the Fe(nw)/Cu(001) is 2.99$\mu$B, which is slightly smaller than that (3.02$\mu$B) for the Fe(nw)/Ag(001) but much larger than that (2.22$\mu$B) for the bcc iron. The great enhancement of magnetic moment in the Fe nanowires can be explained by the Fe d-band narrowing and enhancement of the spin-splitting due to a reduction in coordination number. From the calculated spin-polarized layer-projected density of states, it is found that the Fe 3d-states are strongly hybridized with the adjacent Cu 3d-states in the Fe(nw)/Cu(001), and there exists a strong hybridization between the Fe sp- and the adjacent Ag 4d-states in the Fe(nw)/Ag(001).
(Retraction: Due to the fault of the author(s), the article entitled ``Electronic structures and magnetism of Fe nanowires on Cu(001) and Ag(001): A first-principles study'', published in 2007 Vol.16, No.2, pp506-510, has been clarified to be a duplicate of the following articles, which have been published in (i) Jin Y J et al 2004 Physica Status Solidi b241 pp1431-1434; (ii) Jin Y J et al 2005 Journal of the Korean Magnetics Society Vol.15 pp217-220. So the above article in Chinese Physics will be withdrawn from the publication.)

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
