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

TL;DR: In this paper, the magnetic coercivity of Co/CoO-MgO core-shell systems was investigated and it was shown that the CoO shell exhibits a large exchange bias due to an increase of the uncompensated spin density at the interface between the co-O shell and the metallic Co core by replacing Co by Mg within the shell.

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.

Exploring a low temperature glassy state, exchange bias effect, and high magnetic anisotropy in Co2C nanoparticles.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore 40-nm diameter Co2C nanoparticles that exhibit ferromagnetic properties with a blocking temperature exceeding 300 K. They show that modifying chemical co-ordination in the shell is one of the effective routes to manipulating magnetic anisotropy.
