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

Thermal and surface anisotropy effects on the magnetization reversal of a nanocluster
TL;DR: In this article, the authors calculated the relaxation rate and temperature-dependent switching field (SF) curve of a spherical magnetic nanocluster by including the effect of surface anisotropy via an effective anisotropic model.

On the anomalous temperature dependence of the magnetic moment of cobalt clusters
Yuannan Xie,John A. Blackman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the anomalous behavior of cobalt clusters is an artifact of the method of extracting results from raw experimental data, and that the origin of this anomalous behaviour lies in the neglect of the magnetic anisotropy in the analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Autoresonant control of the magnetization switching in single-domain nanoparticles
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a microwave field with slowly varying frequency (autoresonance) to control the magnetization switching in nanoscale devices, with no need to fine-tune the field parameters.

TL;DR: In this paper, the importance of accounting for the magnetization inhomogeneities in magnetic nanoparticles, especially in the presence of surface anisotropy, was demonstrated by different analytical and numerical methods.
