Zusammenfassung:
Changes of the magnetic properties of ferromagnetic Co particles deposited on the √31 x √31R±9° reconstructed α-Al2O3(0001) as well as on a thin alumina film grown on a NiAl(110) substrate were investigated as a function of thermal annealing. On the thin film changes of the magnetic response were found above 500 K which correlates with changes in the particle size distribution. Annealing to 870 K leads to a permeation of the metal though the oxide film which causes significant changes in the ferromagnetic resonance response. On the -Al2O3 single crystal sintering of particles requires temperatures above 600 K being about 100 K higher as compared to the thin alumina film. For large clusters intraparticle redistribution takes place already below 600 K a phenomenon not observed for the small clusters. In addition, a significant dependence of the measured g values from the substrate as well as the thermal treatment is found which can be understood in terms of the structural properties of the systems.
