The growth of magnetic nanoparticles on surfaces by auto-organization processes represents a flexible and powerful alternative to obtain high-density, patterned magnetic storage media. Here, we report on the growth of a dense array of magnetic Co dots on a GdAu₂ surface alloy. We show that this GdAu₂ surface alloy behaves as an excellent template to achieve dot arrays with very high areal densities up to 54 Teradots/inch². Magnetic properties were analyzed by UHV-MOKE and XMCD revealing in-plane remanent magnetization.
