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

Spin disorder and magnetic anisotropy in Fe3O4 nanoparticles
TL;DR: In this article, the magnetic behavior of dextran-coated magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles with median particle size ⟨d⟩=8nm was studied and it was proposed that these particles have bulklike ferromagnetic structure with ordered A and B sublattices, but nearly compensated the magnetic moments.

TL;DR: In this paper, four discrete MnIII/MnII tetranuclear complexes with a double-cuboidal core were synthesized by reaction of Hhmp (2-hydroxymethylpyridine) with Mn(ClO4)2·6H2O in the presence of tetraethylammonium hydroxide and subsequent addition of NaNO3 (3) or an excess of H hmp (4).
