Abstract
In this paper, a method is presented that has the sensitivity to measure magnetization behavior of single nanostructures. It is demonstrated that the technique gives the ability to separate different signals of single nanodots from a small ensemble of structures. Our method is based on the anomalous Hall-Effect and allows for resolving signals from spherical nanoparticles with diameter down to 3.5 nm. The method gives access to magnetic properties of particles in a wide thermal and dynamical range. The potential of the technique is demonstrated utilizing particles that are created from Co films sandwiched by Pt layers.
