Magnetic Properties of Epitaxially-grown $SrRu{O}_3$ Nanodots

Abstract

We present the fabrication and exploration of arrays of nanodots of $SrRu{O}_3$ with dot sizes between 500 nm and 15 nm. Down to the smallest dot size explored, the samples were found to be magnetic with a maximum of the Curie temperature $T_C$ achieved by dots of 30 nm diameter. This peak in $T_C$ is associated with a dot-size-induced relief of the epitaxial strain, as evidenced by scanning transmission electron microscopy.
