Abstract
The research plan described in the proposal (section 2.1) was well implemented during the period 2013-2014. Most of the steps listed in the plan were completed thanks to the fund: (1) nanoparticle preparation (2) structural characterization (3) magnetic characterization (4) particle deposition and self-assembling (5) net magnetization of the film measured via XMCD; we are still working on the last steps (6) magnetic order between particles measured via XRMS and (7) dynamical measurements, measured via CXRMS. The fund was especially useful to go and carry out a couple of synchrotron experiments at SSRL, SLAC at Stanford, to complete steps (5-7). Our first results have already led to two publications, as described below.
