In this thesis, the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of nanostructures at surfaces, such as ultra-thin films and single adatoms, are explored based on density functional theory as implemented within the full-potential linearized plane wave (FLAPW) method. The focus of this work are complex non-collinear spin structures due to competing magnetic interactions and the effect of spin-orbit coupling. First, the origin of non-collinear magnetic structures is examined, i.e., structures in which the spins of neighboring atoms are aligned neither parallel nor antiparallel to each other but can take arbitrary angles. Such a non-collinear spin texture is found in a monolayer of Cr on Pd(111), which exhibits a Néel state with angles of...
