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

On the oscillation of the magnetic moment of free transition metal clusters
Yuannan Xie,John A. Blackman +1 more
TL;DR: The results of the Stern-Gerlach experiments on free clusters of Fe, Co, and Ni are usually interpreted in terms of magnetic moments that show oscillations as a function of cluster size as discussed by the authors.

Reversal time of the magnetization of single-domain ferromagnetic particles with mixed uniaxial and cubic anisotropy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors generalize the existing adaptation of the Kramers escape rate theory to fine ferromagnetic particles with nonaxially symmetric magnetocrystalline-Zeeman energies, originally based on the paraboloidal approximation for the energy near its stationary points.
