Abstract

We have fabricated Co atomic chains and nanowires on a Pd(110) surface oriented along the [1-10] direction. This is possible due to high diffusion anisotropy of the Co adatom on the Pd(110) surface. The Co nanowires on Pd(110) exhibit a strong uniaxial in-plane magnetic anisotropy, in which the easy axis is along [1-10], i.e., nanowire direction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
