Ordered CoNiP nanowires with the same length of 4 µm and varying diameters (d = 100 nm–600 nm) were fabricated by electrodeposition of CoNiP onto polycarbonate templates. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy confirmed the quality of the fabricated nanowires. Magnetic measurements and theoretical analysis revealed that the magnetization reversal and magnetic anisotropy were significantly influenced by varying of the diameters of the nanowires. There existed a critical wire diameter (dc ≈ 276 nm), below which the magnetization reversal occurred via a coherent rotation mode, and above which the magnetization reversal occurred via a curling rotation mode. The easy axis of the magnetization tended to change in direction from parallel to perpendicular with respect to the wire axis as the wire diameter exceeded dc ≈ 276 nm. With increasing wire diameter, the coercive field (Hc) and the remanent to saturation magnetization ratio (Mr/Ms) were also found to rapidly decrease in the range d = 100–400 nm and gradually decrease for d > 400 nm.
The Co-Ni-P nanorods were fabricated by electrodeposition method by using the porous polycarbonate template. The investigation by mean of X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy indicated that samples were nanocrystalline clusters embedded in the amorphous base. The samples exhibited a room temperature ferromagnetism with the high magnetic anisotropy along the rod. The applied magnetic fields during the fabrication of the Co-Ni-P nanorods was strongly influenced by the magnetic properties. The M R /M S ratio and coercivity rapidly increased when the magnetic applied field changed from 0 to 0.21 T.
The magnetic properties in Co-Ni-P nanowires arrays with diameter of 200 nm were investigated. All the samples were prepared by electrodeposition method with pH of 5.5 and at room temperature. During the deposition, a magnetic field in range of 0 - 750 Oe was applied parallel to the wires axis. The crystalline structure and morphology of the samples were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), respectively. The hysteresis loops were measured at room temperature using vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). The mixture of hcp phases of the Co-Ni-P based nanowires has been indicated by the XRD pattern. The obtained results show that with 750 Oe magnetic field applied during deposition we can obtain maximum coercivity value (2180 Oe). The \(M_{r}/M_{s}\) ratio was rapid increased when the magnetic field changed from 0 Oe to 750 Oe.
The Co nanowire arrays were fabricated by electrodeposition method by using the porous polycarbonate template. Study on crystallographic structure, micro structure, and the element composition confirmed the quality of the fabricated Co nanowires. SEM image shows the wires with an average diameter of 200 nm and the average length of 9 m. The magnetic properties, measured at room temperature using vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), displays that the nanowires have anisotropic property. The angular dependence of coercivity of Co nanowires has been studied. The decrease of the coercivity, when the angular changed from 0 o to 90 o , will be discussed.
