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

Uniaxial magnetic anisotropy in epitaxial α‐Fe(h0ℓ) films
TL;DR: In this article, the magnetic anisotropy of epitaxial, high-index Fe(h0) films is investigated and shown to increase monotonically with the inclination angle between Fe(001) and Fe(0l).

Modeling of the iron irradiation effect on the hysteresis in nanostructured thin films
TL;DR: In this paper, the shape of the hysteresis curve, for example initial susceptibility and coercivity, is predicted by the energetic model, which affects both anisotropy and spontaneous magnetization.
