Abstract

“Magnetism goes nano” is the slogan that describes the present activities in research on ferromagnetic systems [8.1]. These activities include basic research as well as profit-oriented industrial development laboratories. In basic research, imaging and dimensionality play an important role, as the size can be reduced to the dimensions where the collective phenomenon “ferromagnetism” will be affected. The study of the transition from atomic to molecular magnetism and ferromagnetism is going to become feasible, envisioning new and highly fascinating insight into collective phenomena. For this aim, the fabrication and the analysis of nanostructures together with a nanoscale understanding of the properties is of pivotal interest.
