Enhancement of the coercivity of electrodeposited nickel nanowire arrays

Fabrication and temperature dependent magnetic properties of nickel nanowires embedded in alumina templates

“…Many groups have studied the size dependant magnetic properties of NWs [14][15][16]. For magnetic recording applications the NW diameter is desired as small as possible, while for other applications such as in microwave and magneto-optical devices the NW with large diameters are favorable [17,18]. Qin et al [15] and Han et al [14] have reported Ni NWs with large diameters and explored their angular dependent magnetic properties in detail.…”

The fabrication and characteristic properties of amorphous Co1−xZnx alloy nanowire arrays

“…The template synthesis in conjunction with electrochemical deposition has revealed itself to be an easy method of controlling compositions of amorphous nanowires [16][17][18]. Furthermore, it easily controls both length and the diameter of the pores [19][20][21].…”

On the growth mechanism of nickel and cobalt nanowires and comparison of their magnetic properties

“…Ferromagnetic nanowires and nanotubes have innumerable applications in areas such as ultrahigh density recording [7,8], GMR sensors [9], supermolecular architectures [10], and nanoscale electronic and optoelectronic devices [11,12]. Moreover, control of morphology in nanostructures is very important in tailoring their properties [13].…”
