Graphical Abstract

Thumbnail image of graphical abstract

PbS nanoparticles attached to a GaAs substrate via organic molecules have magnetic properties. When the organic molecules are aligned parallel or at some angle relative to the surface normal, the magnetic anisotropy vector K coincides with the molecular orientation.
