Out-of-Plane Alignment of Er(trensal) Easy Magnetization Axes Using Graphene

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Marina Pivetta, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser, Fabio Donati, Luca Gragnaniello, Giulia Elisabetta Pacchioni, Alberto Cavallin

We have studied Er(trensal) single -ion magnets adsorbed on graphene/Ru(0001), on graphene/Ir(111), and on bare Ru(0001) by scanning tunneling microscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. On graphene, the molecules self -assemble into dense and well -orde ...

Magnetism and morphology of Co nanocluster superlattices on GdAu2/Au(111)-(13 x 13)

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Alberto Cavallin

We present a comprehensive study of the magnetism and morphology of an ultrahigh density array of Co nanoclusters self-assembled on the single atomic layer GdAu2 on Au(111) template surface. Combining scanning tunneling microscopy, x-ray magnetic circular ...

Low Temperature Ferromagnetism in Chemically Ordered FeRh Nanocrystals

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser, Sergio Vlaic, Alberto Cavallin

In sharp contrast to previous studies on FeRh bulk, thin films, and nanoparticles, we report the persistence of ferromagnetic order down to 3 K for size-selected 3.3 nm diameter nanocrystals embedded into an amorphous carbon matrix. The annealed nanopartic ...

Growth and Magnetism of Nanostructures Investigated by STM, MOKE, and XMCD

Alberto Cavallin

This thesis presents our studies on nanostructures growth and magnetism, mainly based on scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE), and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements. In most of these experiments, nanos ...
