We report the results of a study on Ni-clusters assembled films deposited on Si(100) and MgO(100) surfaces. The films were produced by deposition of pre-formed Ni nanoparticles generated by a gas aggregation source. The samples topography and growth mode were investigated with SEM, AFM, STM and XPS. MOKE technique was used to determine magnetization curves at T=300 K, T=100 K and T=50K. The films show random paving growth mode, where clusters assemble in agglomerates. From MOKE data we observe a behaviour that can be ascribed to the occurrence of Super Correlated Spin Glass phase at T=300 K, and soft ferromagnetic hysteresis cycles at low temperature, possibly related with a different magnetic phase.

Abstract

We report the results of a study on Ni-clusters assembled films deposited on Si(100) and MgO(100) surfaces. The films were produced by deposition of pre-formed Ni nanoparticles generated by a gas aggregation source. The samples topography and growth mode were investigated with SEM, AFM, STM and XPS. MOKE technique was used to determine magnetization curves at T=300 K, T=100 K and T=50K. The films show random paving growth mode, where clusters assemble in agglomerates. From MOKE data we observe a behaviour that can be ascribed to the occurrence of Super Correlated Spin Glass phase at T=300 K, and soft ferromagnetic hysteresis cycles at low temperature, possibly related with a different magnetic phase.
