Arrays of 60-nm-diameter pores are synthesized by the electrochemical anodization of an aluminum substrate. Fe is electrodeposited in the pores to obtain the nanowire arrays. X-ray diffraction patterns and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) show that the deposited material is pure iron. The Fe nanowire arrays possess a body-centered-cubic structure, and the wire direction of the nanowire arrays is orientated along the [110] direction. In the present study, we report the preferred [110] orientation along Fe nanowires with a diameter of 60 nm with values of parallel and perpendicular remanent magnetization of 0.4 and 4 memu, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
