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

Classical and quantum magnetization reversal studied in nanometer-sized particles and clusters
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the most important theories and experimental results concerning the magnetization reversal of single-domain particles, clusters and molecular clusters and showed that for very small systems or very low temperature, magnetization can reverse via quantum tunneling.

Modeling free and supported metallic nanoclusters: structure and dynamics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare atomic structure and dynamics of free and supported metallic clusters via molecular dynamics simulations using tight-binding semi-empirical potentials for metal-metal interactions and a potential fitted to ab initio calculations for the metal-supported ones, the support being essentially the MgO(100) surface.

Sensitive detection of irreversible switching in a single FePt nanosized dot
TL;DR: In this article, an isolated single dot as small as 60 nm in diameter fabricated from a single crystal L10-FePt(001) film has been measured by detection of the anomalous Hall effect in the temperature range from 10 to 300 K.
