Perpendicular Spin Orientation in Ultrasmall Fe Islands on W(110)
Description
We have studied the magnetism of Ag-coated Fe islands on W(110) by nuclear resonant scattering of synchrotron radiation at the 14.4keV resonance of 57Fe . Separated islands with an average diameter of 2.0nm and monolayer thickness are formed at a Fe coverage of θ=0.57 bulk monolayers. Time spectra of the nuclear decay were measured in the temperature range from 4.5 to 300K. We find strong evidence for perpendicular spin orientation, which most likely results from the interplay of shape anisotropy and elastic strain in the islands
