Description

The magnetic behavior of semiconducting EuSe islands deposited on a nanopatterned PbSe template is investigated using x-ray small-angle scattering and x-ray circular dichroism in absorption and scattering geometry. The islands form a regular hexagonal pattern, and show coupling between Eu spins at low temperatures, indicating a precursor state to a magnetic phase transformation
