TLDR
Three-dimensional switching field measurements performed on a 3 nm cobalt cluster embedded in a niobium matrix are reported, able to separate the different magnetic anisotropy contributions and evidence the dominating role of the cluster surface.Abstract:
Using a new micro-SQUID setup, we investigate magnetic anisotropy in a single 1000-atom cobalt cluster. This system opens new fields in the characterization and understanding of the origin of magnetic anisotropy in such nanoparticles. For this purpose, we report three-dimensional switching field measurements performed on a 3 nm cobalt cluster embedded in a niobium matrix. We are able to separate the different magnetic anisotropy contributions and evidence the dominating role of the cluster surface.read more

Magnetism in ultrathin film structures
TL;DR: In this article, the results of recent experimental and theoretical studies of well characterized epitaxial structures based on Fe, Co and Ni to illustrate how intrinsic fundamental properties such as the magnetic exchange interactions, magnetic moment and magnetic anisotropies change markedly in ultrathin films as compared with their bulk counterparts, and to emphasize the role of atomic scale structure, strain and crystallinity in determining the magnetic properties.

Carbon nanotube superconducting quantum interference device.
TL;DR: The SQUID design establishes that these CNT Josephson junctions can be used as gate-controlled π-junctions; that is, the sign of the current–phase relation across the CNT junications can be tuned with a gate voltage.

TL;DR: The lattice parameters of all the nanocrystals deduced from X-ray diffraction measurements are consistent with a structure of the type Fe3-xO4, i.e. intermediate between magnetite and maghemite, which evolves toward theMaghemite structure for the smallest sizes.

Magnetic Properties of Magnetic Nanoparticles for Efficient Hyperthermia.
TL;DR: This work discusses some of the physics principles for effective heating of MNPs focusing on the role of surface anisotropy, interface exchange an isotropy and dipolar interactions, and some physical and practical limitations of using MNPs in magnetic hyperthermia.
