Magnetic nanostructure patterns via hierarchical self-assembly: An in-situ study combining GISAXS and NRS — •Denise Erb, Kai Schlage, Hans-Christian Wille, and Ralf Röhlsberger — Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY, Notkestraße 85, D-22607 Hamburg, Germany

Nanopatterning via self-assembly has gained considerable interest as an alternative to lithography-based techniques for nanostructure fabrication. We propose a routine for preparing highly ordered metallic nanostructure arrays based exclusively on self-assembly processes: crystal surface reconstruction, copolymer microphase separation, metal diffusion on heterogeneous surfaces. The versatile routine allows fabricating nanostructures in a variety of shapes and sizes. We present results of in-situ structural and magnetic investigations of Fe nanodot arrays during formation by Grazing Incidence Small Angle X-ray Scattering (GISAXS)[1] and Nuclear Resonant Scattering of synchrotron radiation (NRS) [2], examining the dependence of nanodot morphology on deposition conditions and the evolution of magnetic moment dynamics during nanodot growth [3].
