a b s t r a c tFe 1−x Co x nanowires in self-assembled arrays with varying compositions were produced by the templateassisted pulsed electrochemical deposition method. The structural and magnetic properties of the arrays were investigated using several experimental techniques. TEM analyses indicated that the nanowires were regular, uniform, 8 m in length and 50 nm in diameter. The results of X-ray diffraction indicated that the body-centered-cubic (bcc) (␣), face-centered-cubic (fcc) (␥), and hexagonal-close-packed (hcp) () Fe-Co phases appeared in different compositions. Magnetic measurements showed that the coercivity and squareness of the hysteresis loops of the Fe 1−x Co x changed with their compositions, which may be attributable to shape anisotropy. The room temperature 57 Fe Mössbauer spectra of the arrays of the Fe 1−x Co x nanowires revealed strong shape anisotropy.
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.
