Co nanowire arrays onN-terminated Cu(110) surfaces

Abstract: We demonstrate, using scanning tunneling microscopy, that the growth of Co onto Cu͑110͒ surfaces can be dramatically altered by first terminating the Cu͑110͒ surface with an atomic nitrogen-induced (2ϫ3) structure. Co growth onto such surfaces results in the formation of ordered arrays of Co nanowires. These results are contrasted with Co growth on clean Cu͑110͒ surfaces and suggest that the N termination also prevents the diffusion of Cu atoms into the Co layers.

“…The subsequent growth of Co on the Cu(1 1 0)-{2 Â 1}O surface changes the growth mode from the 3D island growth found for clean Cu(1 1 0), to 2D layer-bylayer growth of pseudomorphic Co and was shown to suppress the CO induced easy axis rotation [30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. More recently work has been done on the N terminated Cu(1 1 0) surface with a view for nanowire and nanocrystal growth [37,38].…”

“…Indeed, self‐organization of monatomic wires during deposition of Cu on Pd(110) 66, 68, 69 and Co on Pd(110) 6 has been observed. In other related systems, like Au/Ni(110) 64, Ag/Cu(110) 65, Co/Cu(110) 70, 71, formation of 2D nanoislands, elongated along the 1–10 direction, has been found in the sub‐monolayer regime. As a rule, these experimental investigations have been performed at room temperature (RT) or close to it 69.…”

“…Due to advanced manufacturing techniques, well-characterized structures are nowadays available and intensively studied. [1][2][3][4][5] Recent studies of magnetic films patterned on the micron scale have revealed a number of novel phenomena that are not observed in the bulk materials; in particular, their magnetic properties are very different, 6,7 which makes them attractive as potentially useful for technological applications, as in high density magnetic recording. 8,9 The study of spin waves in low-dimensional systems such as ultrathin films has proved to very useful, in particular, for determining magnetic anisotropy constants, 10 using Brillouin light scattering, 11 which provides a tool for probing these magnetic excitations in ultrathin layers and also in dot-structured permalloy layers.…”
