| Abstract |
Using appropriate electrodeposition conditions, it is shown that the structural and
magnetic properties of arrays of Co and CoCu/Co nanowires can be controlled. The hcp c axis
orientation can be oriented parallel or perpendicular to the wire axis simply by changing the pH of
the electrolytic solution and/or deposition rate. This selected orientation of the c axis leads to a
drastic change in overall magnetic anisotropy and is promising for the fabrication of spin valves
structures by electrodeposition. |
