In this study, the magnetic properties and atomic morphology of bimetallic two-dimensional nanoislands grown on metal surfaces were investigated. The blocking temperature was found to be greatly increased by modifying the interfaces and capping the islands with different materials.
The magnetic properties and the atomic scale morphology of bimetallic two-dimensional nanoislands, epitaxially grown on fcc(111) metal surfaces, have been studied by means of Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy. We investigate the effect on blocking temperature of one-dimensional interlines appearing in core-shell structures, of two-dimensional interfaces created by capping, and of random alloying. The islands are grown on Pt(111) and contain a Co-core, surrounded by Ag, Rh, and Pd shells, or capped by Pd. The largest effect is obtained by Pd capping, increasing the blocking temperature by a factor of three compared to pure Co islands. In addition, for Co-core Fe-shell and Co-core FexCo1-x-shell islands, self-assembled into well ordered superlattices on Au(11,12,12) vicinal surfaces, we find a strong enhancement of the blocking temperature compared to pure Co islands of the same size. These ultra-high-density (15 Tdots/in(2)) superlattices of CoFe nanodots, only 500 atoms in size, have blocking temperature exceeding 100 K. Our findings open new possibilities to tailor the magnetic properties of nanoislands.
