Preparation and magnetic properties of Co and Ni nanowire arrays

摘要

This paper reports some results on the synthesis and magnetic properties of cobalt and nickel nanowire arrays. Cobalt and nickel nanowire arrays have been synthesised by chemical electrodeposition in a three electrode cell. The pore size of the membranes and morphology of electrodeposited nanowires were studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Magnetic characteristics of the obtained nanowire arrays were determined at room temperature by using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), in an external magnetic field of 15 kOe.
