摘要：

Large area samples of submicron arrays of elliptical thin Co dots were fabricated using interference lithography and ion milling. The magnetic properties were investigated by MFM and hysteresis loops were measured at different temperatures. The temperature dependence of coercivity was measured suggests that the thermal fluctuation plays an important role in the magnetization reversal mechanism.
