Summary:The spontaneous magnetization reversal of the finite-length Co chains on Pt(664) surface is investigated in the framework of the classical effective theory. The effective theory includes the Heisenberg exchange interaction, magnetic anisotropy energy, Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction (DMI), and dipole–dipole interaction. The geodesic-nudged elastic band method is employed for calculations of the energy barriers for magnetization reversal of the finite-length Co chains. The calculation of the spontaneous magnetization reversal time shows that the dipole–dipole interaction can be neglected at a temperatures higher than 10.9 K. DMI can be neglected at temperatures higher than 60.2 K. This means that DMI can significantly influence the magnetization reversal process at low temperatures and should be taken into account.
