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.

Magnetic nanostructure hysteresis loop calculation for modified thin film multi-layer by ion irradiation

TL;DR: In this paper, the fluence of ion irradiation on paramagnetic, polycrystalline thin films affects both anisotropy and spontaneous magnetization, and the dependence of coercivity and initial susceptibility on Ms is predicted by a hysteresis model considering the balance of energy with good qualitative agreement.
