“…50,51 Co nanoparticles have been embedded in metallic hosts such as Pt, 44 Nd, 52 Cu, 53 Mn, 54 Ag 55 and Au. 33 On the other hand, although there are several studies of Co/V multilayers, [56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67] as far as we know, the magnetic properties of Co NPs embedded in the metallic vanadium matrix have not been reported. We will firstly investigate the morphology of Co nanoparticles deposited on flat Si(100) surfaces and calculate the occupation in terms of coverage percentage of a monolayer.…”
