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 isolated cobalt nanoplatelets
TL;DR: In this paper, the magnetic properties of two-monolayer-thick Co nanoplatelets with an equilateral triangular shape were analyzed using a microscopic Slater-Koster tight-binding model with atomic exchange and spin-orbit interactions designed to realistically capture the salient magnetic features of large nanoclusters.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the switching field of a single-domain bar magnet saturates when extending its length beyond a certain value, preventing further tailoring of the magnetization reversal via aspect ratios.

Single-Ion Anisotropy: An Insight to Complicated Magnetic Molecules
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discussed the strategies to control the magnetic anisotropy of spin carriers as a hint to understand the magnetic clusters' behavior and summarized the researches on the complicated magnetic molecules based on the information of the single-ion anisotropic.
