Abstract:
Co has been epitaxially grown onto flat and modified Ru(0001) substrates via molecular beam epitaxy at elevated temperature and characterized ex situ with atomic force and magnetic force microscopy. On flat Ru(0001), Co grows into three-dimensional Co islands (dots) of ∼20–900 nm or a flat Co film network with deep holes (antidots) in truncated pyramidal shapes, which randomly distribute on the surface. When the Ru surface morphology is modified via either scratches or e-beam lithography, the dots align along the edges of the surface features (∼4–100 nm deep), and form dot chains, wires, arrays, and dots around lithographic patterns. The dots exhibit in-plane single domains with magnetic easy axis along the edges of these surface features.
