Previous x-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements have shown that sub-monolayer coverages of Rh directly deposited on Ag(100) at T=5K are not magnetic [1], in contrast to theoretical predictions [2]. We have investigated this discrepancy and studied the magnetism of Rh nano-structures prepared on inert Xe buffer layers (Buffer Layer Assisted Growth [3]) on Ag(100). For Rh nano-structures (monomers, dimers, trimers etc.) situated on the Xe buffer layer we find a cluster size-dependent magnetic moment similar to the one measured on free clusters in the Stern-Gerlach experiment [4]. During desorption of the Xe layer the Rh nano-structures grow in size and make contact with the substrate, which leads to a full quenching of the magnetic moment. The results are discussed modelling the Rh cluster size distribution and magnetic ordering on Xe and Ag(100).
