Cobalt and platinum for magnets

In a cobalt and platinum material, some European physicists have measured the greatest magnetic anisotropy, 200 times greater than the simple cobalt. Cobalt atoms have been placed on a platinum substrate for the production of this material.

Due to the large anisotropy, the spin of atoms is easily oriented on this material, i.e. the material is magnetic. In short, it forms magnets more stable than the simple cobalt.
