Abstract
We report the self-organized growth of cobalt nanodot arrays using a Gd-Au Moiré superlattice as a template. After analyzing the influence of the Co flux and the substrate temperature, we obtain the suitable parameters to maximize nanodot density, homogeneity, and individual size. Depending on the growth conditions an areal density of up to 54 Teradots/inch2 can be achieved. Below the limit of lateral coalescence, independent nanodots made of ∼1000 Co atoms exhibit room temperature remanent magnetization.
