Nanostructured surfaces: challenges and frontiers in nanotechnology (2004, neutral): “Recently a bottom-up approach was used to investigate the development of the magnetization in transition-metal particles (Co) deposited on a nonmagnetic (Pt(111)) substrate (Gambardella et al 2003; see also Rusponi et al 2003).”
Perpendicular switching of a single ferromagnetic layer induced by in-plane current injection (2011, background): “This treatment ensures chemical stability of the layers and preserves the strong PMA typical of cobalt–platinum interface”
Engineering atomic and molecular nanostructures at surfaces (2005, background): “Such surface-supported cobalt nanostructures, when examined, reveal how magnetic properties change as the size of the structures is reduced to a few atom”

Spin excitations and correlations in scanning tunneling spectroscopy (2015, background): “The anisotropy is caused by the reduction of the geometric symmetry at the surface and by spin-orbit coupling [23, 24, 25], which have the effect of lifting the inherent degeneracy of the spin states.”
The role of magnetic anisotropy in the Kondo effect (2008, background): “Larger spins are subject to the influence of magnetocrystalline anisotropy, which describes the dependence of the magnetic moment’s energy on the orientation of the spin relative to its surrounding atomic environmen”
