A new method based on the periodic Anderson model is developed for a vector description of the magnetic moments near a stepped Fe/Cr interface. The method allows one to perform self-consistent calculations of local magnetic moment and d-electron numbers on a given atomic site for different orientations of the moment relative to the quantization axis. The self-consistent solution with minimal energy on a site under consideration is used to perform the calculation for the next step. In this approach the noncollinear magnetic structure for stepped Fe/Cr superlattices is obtained. The ground state is always noncollinear and the angle between magnetic moments of Fe layers depends on the thickness of the Cr and Fe layers.
