摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter describes the magnetic properties of 2D islands on single-crystal metal surfaces. Experiments small well-defined have significantly improved understanding orbital magnetism. Orbital moments and anisotropy energies been determined for Co or Pt as function island size from single atoms up to large islands. They reveal a direct link between preserved in low coordinated their high anisotropy. These effects were anticipated thin film studies. For larger islands, mechanism thermal magnetization reversal has seen vary system system. As anticipated, compact show coherent rotation sizes than ramified ones. In addition, SP-STM is developed reliable tool determination spin polarization tunnel magneto-resistance junctions with However, de-convolution tip sample polarizations remains challenge one rely calculations.
