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

Magnetic anisotropy of $Co_x Pt_{1-x}$ clusters embedded in matrix: Influences of the cluster chemical composition and the matrix nature
TL;DR: In this article, the magnetic properties of Co$\_x$Pt$\_{1-x}$ clusters embedded in various matrices were determined using a careful analysis of magnetization curves and ZFC susceptibility measurements, and the clusters magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) and separate the surface and volume contributions.
