DC-SQUID Magnetization Measurements of Single Magnetic Particles

We present the first magnetization measurements of single submicronic particles at very low temperature made of either Ni, Co, CoZrMoNi or TbFe. As detector we use a micro-bridge-DC-SQUID deposited onto or next to the sample. Sample and detector are patterned by electron-beam lithography. The dynamics and the temperature dependence of the magnetization reversal is studied in view of Macroscopic Quantum Tunneling (MQT).
