Erratum: 'Reduction of magnetostatic interactions in self-organized arrays of nickel nanowires using atomic layer deposition' [Appl. Phys. Lett. 98,112501(2011)]

摘要

In this erratum, we wish to correct Fig. 3(b). While both experiments and model are correct, we have a mistake in the plot by considering a definition of distribution width larger by a factor 2 in the model. The correction leads to the following new Fig. 3(b).We observe therefore that both curves are nearly parallel, experimental values being roughly translated upwards with respect to the model.1 Thus, contrary to our initial statement of very good agreement between model and experiments, it must be concluded that an intrinsic distribution of coercive fields is found in the real system, to be added to the distribution arising from dipolar field. The intrinsic distribution may originate from slight variations of diameter among the nanowires array, and/or structural inhomogeneities.
