RT Journal Article T1 Geometrically defined spin structures in ultrathin Fe₃O₄ with bulk like magnetic properties A1 Ruiz Gómez, Sandra A1 Pérez García, Lucas A1 Mascaraque Susunaga, Arantzazu A1 Quesada, Adrian A1 Prieto, Pilar A1 Palacio, Irene A1 Martín García, Laura A1 Foerster, Michael A1 Aballe, Lucía A1 Figuera, Juan de la AB We have grown high quality magnetite microcrystals free from antiphase boundaries on Ru(0001) by reactive molecular beam epitaxy, conserving bulk magnetic properties below 20 nm thickness. Magnetization vector maps are obtained by X-ray spectromicroscopy and compared with micromagnetic simulations. The observed domain configurations are dictated purely by shape anisotropy, overcoming the possible influences of (magneto) crystalline anisotropy and defects, thus demonstrating the possibility of designing spin structures in ultrathin, magnetically soft magnetite at will.
