Electronic states of moiré modulated Cu films

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Anne Lehnert

We examined by low-energy electron diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy the surface of thin Cu films on Pt(111). The Cu/Pt lattice mismatch induces a moire modulation for films from 3 to about 10 ML thickness. We used angle-resolved photoemission ...

Origin of Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy and Large Orbital Moment in Fe Atoms on MgO

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

We report on the magnetic properties of individual Fe atoms deposited on MgO(100) thin films probed by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism and scanning tunneling spectroscopy. We show that the Fe atoms have strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy with a zer ...

Magnetic remanence in single atoms

Harald Brune, François Patthey, Stefano Rusponi, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser, Pietro Gambardella, Fabio Donati, Christian Wäckerlin, Aparajita Singha, Romana Baltic, Katharina Johanna Diller, Edgar Fernandes

A permanent magnet retains a substantial fraction of its saturation magnetization in the absence of an external magnetic field. Realizing magnetic remanence in a single atom allows for storing and processing information in the smallest unit of matter. We s ...

Understanding the Superior Stability of Single-Molecule Magnets on an Oxide Film

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser, Fabio Donati, Christian Wäckerlin, Aparajita Singha, Romana Baltic, Katharina Johanna Diller

The stability of magnetic information stored in surface adsorbed single-molecule magnets is of critical interest for applications in nanoscale data storage or quantum computing. The present study combines X-ray magnetic circular dichroism, density function ...

Uniform magnetic properties for an ultrahigh-density lattice of noninteracting Co nanostructures

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Nicolas Weiss

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 ...

An Endohedral Single-Molecule Magnet with Long Relaxation Times: DySc_{2}N@C_{80}

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser

The magnetism of DySc2N@C80 endofullerene was studied with X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) and a magnetometer with a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) down to temperatures of 2 K and in fields up to 7 T. XMCD shows hysteresis of ...

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 ...

Unconventional Spin Relaxation Involving Localized Vibrational Modes in Ho Single-Atom Magnets

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Marina Pivetta, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser, Pietro Gambardella, Fabio Donati, Christian Wäckerlin, Aparajita Singha, Romana Baltic, Katharina Johanna Diller

We investigate the spin relaxation of Ho single atom magnets on MgO/Ag(100) as a function of temperature and magnetic field. We find that the spin relaxation is thermally activated at low field, while it remains larger than 1000 s up to 30 K and 8 T. This ...

Magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy of Co and Fe adatoms on the (111) surfaces of Pd and Rh

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Pietro Gambardella, Anne Lehnert

We performed a combined theoretical and experimental investigation of the orbital magnetism and magnetocrystalline anisotropy of isolated Co and Fe adatoms on Pd(111) and Rh(111). Theoretical calculations of the spin and orbital moments are based on ab ini ...

Magnetic anisotropy of Fe and Co adatoms and Fe clusters magnetically decoupled from Ni_{3}Al(111) by an alumina bilayer

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Anne Lehnert

The magnetic properties of individual Fe and Co atoms as well as of small Fe clusters adsorbed on two atomic layers of Al2O3 grown on Ni3Al(111) have been investigated by x-ray absorption spectroscopy and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism. We find ratios o ...

Nucleation of ordered Fe islands on Al2O3/Ni3Al(111)

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Anne Lehnert, Régis Decker

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has been used to investigate the nucleation and stability of iron clusters on the Al2O3/Ni3Al (111) surface as a function of coverage and annealing temperature. We show that atomic beam deposition of iron leads to hexago ...

Surface characterization of MnxGe1-x and CryMnxGe1-x-y dilute magnetic semiconductors

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Pietro Gambardella, Laurent Claude

We have used x-ray photoemission electron microscopy (XPEEM) and x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to characterize MnxGe1-x and CryMnxGe1-x-y films grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The surface layers of the as-grown films probed by XPEEM present segregat ...

Large Orbital Moment of Two Coupled Spin-Half Co Ions in a Complex on Gold

Stefano Rusponi, Chao Li, Boris Sorokin

The magnetic propertiesof transition-metal ions aregenerallydescribed by the atomic spins of the ions and their exchange coupling.The orbital moment, usually largely quenched due the ligand field,is then seen as a perturbation. In such a scheme, S = 1/2 io ...
