Magnetic Bistability in a Submonolayer of Sublimated Fe4 Single-Molecule Magnets / Malavolti, L., Lanzilotto, V., Ninova, S., Poggini, L., Cimatti, I., Cortigiani, B., Margheriti, L., Chiappe, D., Otero, E., Sainctavit, P., Totti, F., Cornia, A., Mannini, M., Sessoli, R.. - In: NANO LETTERS. - ISSN 1530-6984. - STAMPA. - 15:1(2015), pp. 535-541.

Abstract:
We demonstrate that Fe4 molecules can be deposited on gold by thermal sublimation in ultra-high vacuum with retention of single molecule magnet behavior. A magnetic hysteresis comparable to that found in bulk samples is indeed observed when a submonolayer film is studied by X-ray magnetic circular dichroism. Scanning tunneling microscopy evidences that Fe4 molecules are assembled in a two-dimensional lattice with short-range hexagonal order and
coexist with a smaller contaminant. The presence of intact Fe4 molecules and the retention of their bistable magnetic behavior on the gold surface are supported by density functional theory calculations.
