“…It is therefore possible to utilize laser ablation of weakly adsorbed buffer layers for the removal and patterning of metallic film deposited on top. This overcomes LITD limitations, and has enabled the patterning of metallic films and clusters on surfaces [7][8][9], and the in situ investigation of clusters surface diffusion [10]. Patterning Xe in the form of monolayer grating as a template for hydrogen sticking to silicon was reported earlier by Williams et al [11].…”

“…Mainly two techniques have been developed to turn off the substrate's influence during growth: the soft-landing of gas-phase clusters [13] and the buffer-layer-assisted cluster growth (BLAG) directly at the surface [61][62][63]. Both techniques are, in principle, suitable to form clusters of almost any material on any substrate [64,65], without the implications associated with epitaxy. The clusters are formed before they make contact with the substrate and their initial structure is not impeded by the surface [66].…”

Recent trends in the emerging field of surface-supported magnetic nanostructures are reviewed. Current strategies for nanostructure synthesis are summarized, followed by a predominantly theoretical description of magnetic phenomena in surface magnetic structures and a review of experimental research in this field. Emphasis is on Fe-or Co-based nanostructures in various low-dimensional geometries, which are studied as model systems to explore the effects of dimensionality, atomic coordination, chemical bonds, alloying and, most importantly, interactions with the supporting substrate on the magnetism. This review also includes a discussion of closely related systems, such as 3d element impurities integrated into organic networks, surface-supported Fe-based molecular magnets, Kondo systems or 4d element nanostructures that exhibit emergent magnetism, thereby bridging the traditional areas of surface science, molecular physics and nanomagnetism.

The synthesis of highly ordered monolayers of metallic nanoclusters by a buffer-layer assisted growth ͑BLAG͒ route is introduced and investigated. The focus is on clusters of Co deposited onto mechanically stable, periodically corrugated boron-nitride layers by repeated BLAG cycles. The approach combines the advantages of well-established preparation methods for surface-supported clusters; namely, the versatility of cluster deposition from the gas phase and the positional accuracy of the directed growth on template surfaces. The particle coverage and geometry are obtained from scanning tunneling microscopy experiments, and analyzed with analytic models and by Monte Carlo simulations. The model shows that the approach to full coverage is critically slowed down by attractive interparticle interaction, which results in the coalescence and growth of some of the clusters. The method represents a generic approach to fabricate ordered layers of clusters of virtually any metal.
