Near the critical region for the onset of ferromagnetic order, the magnetic susceptibility χ follows a power law with a critical exponent γ=2.39±0.08, in excellent agreement with the theoretical value for a perfect two-dimensional geometric percolation phase transition. Scanning tunneling microscopy studies reveal that the Co grows via the formation of three-dimensional elongated island structures, forming an array of Co “nanomagnets.” The ordering transition is a consequence of direct exchange developing between Co islands. The in-plane uniaxial anisotropy in the ferromagnetic phase is predominantly attributed to the internal dipolar field of the Co islands.
