We develop the self-assembly of epitaxial submicrometer-sized face-centered-cubic (fcc) Co(111) dots using pulsed laser deposition. The dots display atomically flat facets, from which the ratios of surface and interface energies for fcc Co are deduced. Zero-field magnetic structures are investigated with magnetic force and Lorentz microscopies, revealing vortex-based flux-closure patterns. A good agreement is found with micromagnetic simulations.
