Distribution of magnetic moments in the low-dimensional metallic structures has been studied theoretically on the basis of periodic Anderson model. Calculation of noncollinear magnetic order was performed in the Hartree-Fock approximation using tight binding real space recursion method. Iteration process includes self-consistent determination of population numbers for the electrons with different directions of the magnetic moments at given atom relatively to the fixed axis. Energies of all states corresponding to the different directions of magnetic moments at the atom under consideration have been calculated, and the state with minimal energy being accepted for the next step.
Analytical transformations based on the generalised "zeros and poles method" were performed for the Green function that allows to avoid some time-consuming numerical procedures. It gives the possibility to develop efficient algorithm for the calculation of noncollinear magnetic structure of complex space nonhomogeneous systems.
Calculations performed for the parameters corresponding to Fe and Cr show the qualitatively different dependencies of the magnetic moment magnitude and the energies of d-electrons on the angles, which define the direction of magnetic moments.
