In recent decades, researchers have devoted tremendous effort into the rational design and
controlled synthesis of metal nanomaterials with well‐defined size, morphology …

The fabrication methods and physical properties of ordered magnetic nanostructures with
dimensions on the submicron to nanometer scale are reviewed. First, various types of …

Spin transfer torques allow the electrical manipulation of magnetization at room temperature,
which is desirable in spintronic devices such as spin transfer torque memories. When …

The size-dependent magnetic properties of small iron clusters deposited on ultrathin nickel
films have been studied with circularly polarized synchrotron radiation. With the use of sum …

The magnetism of 1-ML-thick films of Fe x Co 1− x on Pt (111) was investigated both
experimentally, by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism and magneto-optical Kerr effect …

Epitaxial growth of Fe on a reconstructed Au (111) surface leads to the formation of self-
organized fcc Fe dots and stripes with increasing coverage. Using the sensitivity of x-ray …

We present a systematic study of the magnetic moments and magnetocrystalline anisotropy
of finite monoatomic Fe n (1<~ n<~ 9) chains deposited along the (11 0) direction on top of …

In this article, we review recent progress in the exploration of the complex magnetic phases
of the fcc Fe/Cu (111) system. In particular, we emphasize the magnetic properties realized …

Electronic and magnetic properties of free Fe clusters of 9 to 89 atoms are investigated
theoretically within an ab initio fully relativistic framework and compared to results of crystal …

The influence of cluster size and of cluster–substrate interaction on the magnetic properties
of Co clusters of 1–10 atoms on Pt (111) and Au (111) is studied by fully relativistic ab initio …
