On the autocatalytic growth and magnetic properties of Fe nanostructures fabricated via focused electron beam induced processing — Fan Tu, Martin Drost, Florian Vollnhals, Esther Carrasco, Andreas Späth, Rainer Fink, and •Hubertus Marbach — Lehrstuhl für Physikalische Chemie II, Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Egerlandstr. 3, D-91058, Erlangen, Germany

Electron beam induced deposition (EBID) was used in combination with autocatalytic growth (AG) processes to lithographically fabricate high purity (> 95%) Fe deposits from the precursor iron-pentacarbonyl in our UHV system [1-3]. In this paper correspondingly fabricated EBID-Fe deposits were investigated in detail by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM). STXM operated in X-ray magnetic circular dicroism mode at the PoILux beamline (Swiss Light Source) allows in addition to the microscopic insights for a detailed magnetic characterization of the Fe structures depending on their actual shape [3]. We report on the thickness and lateral dimension dependent magnetic coercivity, the chemical nature and the atomic order of the Fe deposits.
