Abstract
Magnetic properties of materials can be tailored in nanostructures, such as thin films, wires and dots. This article gives an overview of what is known about the electronic states that are relevant for magnetic phenomena, such as oscillatory coupling, giant magnetoresistance (GMR) and spin-polarized tunnelling. These states are probed by high-resolution photoemission and inverse photoemission. Methods for fabricating one- and zero-dimensional structures are explored, such as stripe and dot arrays obtained by step decoration.
