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.

Spin Ordering in Low-Dimensional Magnetic System Induced by Model Interaction

TL;DR: In this paper, the magnetic susceptibility has been studied by using a new trial function for the model interaction between spins arranged in a low-dimensional square pyramidal system, and it was shown that the exchange interaction depends on a power exponent which depends on the pyramid structure in addition to the magnetic energy and thermal energy.
