This thesis reports results on magnetic properties of supported cobalt nanostructures. The nanostructures were grown on single crystal metal surface by Molecular Beam Epitaxy in an Ultra High Vacuum chamber. Our experimental setup is based on two in situ measurement techniques. The first is the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) allowing to investigate the nanostructure morphology. The second, called Surface Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect (SMOKE), probes the magnetism of the nanostructures. By combining the d

Electron spin resonance with a scanning tunneling microscope (ESR-STM) combines the high energy resolution of spin resonance spectroscopy with the atomic scale control and spatial resolution of STM. Here we describe the upgrade of a helium-3 STM with a 2D ...

The original magnetic properties of nanometre-sized particles are due to the distinct contributions of volume, surface and step atoms. To disentangle these contributions is an ongoing challenge of materials science. Here we introduce a method enabling the identification. of the remarkably different contributions of surface and perimeter atoms to the magnetic anisotropy energy of two-dimensional nanostructures. Our method uses the generally nonlinear relationship between perimeter length and surface area. At

We report on the magnetic properties of two-dimensional Co nanoparticles arranged in macroscopically phase-coherent superlattices created by self-assembly on Au(788). Our particles have a density of 26 Tera/in(2) (1 Tera=10(12)), are monodomain, and have u ...

We have studied the evolution of the magnetic properties of monolayer-high cobalt islands on a Pt(111) surface as function of their exposure to oxygen. We observe a sequential quenching of magnetic anisotropy and magnetic moment. For minute exposures to oxygen this leads to an enhancement of the maximum susceptibility of up to 66% for chi". We show that the reason for the reduction of the anisotropy before the one of the moment is due to preferential oxygen adsorption at the island edges, which are the main

We present the experimental campaigns – namely, three per facility – carried out between 2018 and 2021 in the AKR–2 and CROCUS zero power reactors within the framework of the Horizon 2020 European project CORTEX. Their purpose was to produce high-quality a ...

We employ variable-temperature spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy in constant current mode to read the magnetic state of monodomain cobalt nanoparticles on Pt(111). In order to avoid stray fields we use in situ prepared antiferromagnetically (Cr) ...

By studying the magnetic behavior of self-assembled Co islands on a single-crystal metal surface, Pt(111), we show how the magnetic anisotropy evolves from isolated atoms to monolayer islands and films. Single Co adatoms are found to have a giant magnetocr ...

A surface magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) setup fully integrated in an ultrahigh vacuum chamber is presented. The system has been designed to combine in situ MOKE and scanning tunneling microscopy. Magnetic fields up to 0.3 T can be applied at any angle i ...
