Title: Magnetic properties of Dy nano-islands on graphene

Abstract

Here, we have determined the magnetic properties of epitaxially grown Dy islands on graphene/SiC(0001) that are passivated by a gold film (deposited in the ultra-high vacuum growth chamber) for ex-situ X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). Our sum-rule analysis of the Dy M4,5 XMCD spectra at low temperatures (T = 15 K) as a function of magnetic field assuming Dy3+ (spin configuration 6H15/2) indicate that the projection of the magnetic moment along an applied magnetic field of 5 T is 3.5(3) μB. Temperature dependence of the magnetic moment (extracted from the M5 XMCD spectra) shows an onset of a change in magnetic moment at about 175 K in proximity of the transition from paramagnetic to helical magnetic structure at TH = 179 K in bulk Dy. No feature at the vicinity of the ferromagnetic transition of hcp bulk Dy at Tc = 88 K is observed. However, below ~130 K, the inverse magnetic moment (extracted from the XMCD) is linear in temperature as commonly expected from a paramagnetic system suggesting different behavior of Dy nano-island than bulk Dy.
