Magnetic nanoparticles have a large potential for applications such as medical diagnosis and therapy, (bio-)sensors or magnetic recording. Conventional techniques, e.g., MFM, electron holography or Lorentz microscopy are only suited to determine magnetical properties of macroscopic particle ensembles. In order to investigate the electrical and magnetic properties of a single, free-standing FePt nanoparticle two nano-sized Au electrodes that are fabricated by electron beam lithography, are used.The full characterization of the particle is carried out by electron microscopy and by recording current-voltage characteristics. As a result Coulomb-blockade effects have been observed at low temperatures. The capacitance of the nanoparticles is derived from the I/V characteristics.
