In this work we present the influence of Pt on self-assembled Co nanoparticles (NPs). We show that capping the Co NPs with Pt results in strong changes in the magnetic properties. With increasing Pt capping we observe a transition from ’demagnetizing’ (viz. dipolar) toward ’magnetizing’ (e.g. polarization type) interactions between the NPs. We performed magnetization hysteresis, ZFC/FC vs. temperature and delta(M)-measurements using a superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer to investigate the nature of coupling between the NPs. The measurements show negative delta(M)-values for small amounts of Pt capping material and positive values for 0.53 nm Pt or more, which indicates a magnetizing interaction between the NPs via the Pt-bridges.
