In this work, the magnetization dynamics of clusters supported on nonmagnetic substrates is shown to exhibit a complex response when subjected to external magnetic fields. The field-driven magnetization reversal of small Co clusters deposited on a Cu(111) surface has been studied by means of first-principles calculations and atomistic spin dynamics simulations. For applied fields ranging from 1 to 10 Tesla, we observe a coherent magnetization reversal with switching times in the range of several tenths of picoseconds to several nanoseconds, depending on the field strength. We find a nonmonotonous dependence of the switching times with respect to the strength of the applied field, which we prove has its origin in the complex magnetic anisotropy landscape of these low-dimensional systems. This effect is shown to be stable for temperatures around 10 K, and is possible to realize over a range of exchange interactions and anisotropy landscapes. Possible experimental routes to achieve this unique switching behavior are discussed.
