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

Facile synthesis of novel cobalt particles by reduction method and their microwave absorption properties
TL;DR: In this paper, three kinds of cobalt particles with different morphologies and crystal structures were synthesized via reducing cobaltous sulfate (CoSO 4 ·7H 2 O) by hydrazine hydrate (N 2 H 4 ·H2 O) under ultrasonic wave, in which seignette salt (C 4 H 4 KNaO 6 ·4H2O) or C 6 O 7 H 5 Na 3 ·2H 2O) acted as complexing agent, C 16 H 33 (CH 3 ) 3 NBr acted as surfactant

Spin moments, orbital moments and magnetic anisotropy of finite-length Co wires deposited on Pd(110)
TL;DR: In this article, the ground-state spin moments, orbital magnetic moments and magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) of CoN one-dimensional (1D) clusters were determined in the framework of a self-consistent, real-space tight-binding method.

Autoresonant control of the magnetization switching in single-domain nanoparticles
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a microwave field with a slowly varying frequency (autoresonance) to control the magnetization switching in a linear chain of nanoparticles, where the dipolar interactions tend to cancel out the effect of the temperature.

From Finite Size and Surface Effects to Glassy Behaviour in Ferrimagnetic Nanoparticles
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the anomalous magnetic properties observed at low temperatures in nanoparticles of ferrimagnetic oxides and proposed two models to account for it: i) the existence of a spin-glass state at the surface of the particle which is coupled to the particle core through an exchange field; and ii) the collective behaviour induced by interparticle interactions.

Possibility of superradiance by magnetic nanoclusters
TL;DR: The possibility of realizing spin superradiance by an assembly of magnetic nanoclusters is analyzed in this article, where it is shown that it is feasible to organize such a setup that magnetic nanclusters would produce strong superradiant emission.
