Published: January 2005

Self-organized Co nanoplatelets with a singular height, quantized lateral sizes, and unique shape and orientation have been fabricated on a template consisting of ordered Al nanocluster arrays on Si(111)-7 x 7 surfaces. Despite their small volume (a few nm(3)), these nanomagnets exhibit an unusually high blocking temperature (>100 K). The perpendicular direction for easy magnetization, the high blocking temperature, the size tunability, and the epitaxial growth on Si substrates make these nanomagnets important for applications in information technology.
