contents The magnetic susceptibility of self-organized two-dimensional Co nanodots on Au(111) has been measured as a function of their size in the 2-7~nm diameter range. We show that the activation energy for the thermal reversal displays a power law behavior with the dot volume. Atomic scale simulations based on the Heisenberg hamiltonian show that this behavior is due to a deviation from the macrospin model for dot size as small as 3~nm in diameter. This discrepancy is attributed to finite temperature effects through the thermal excitation of spin-wave modes inside the particles
