Magnetic Nanostructures Fabricated by Electrochemical Synthesis

Article Preview

Abstract:

Electrochemical processing is a cost effective and low-temperature approach suitable for the fabrication of certain unique nanostructures that are difficult to obtain by other methods. Here we report on the synthesis of nanowires and nanoporous structures with the intention to control the magnetic properties of conventional materials. Nanowires with variable sizes (diameter 15 nm - microns, and length up to 100 microns) have been fabricated by template assisted electrodeposition. Utilizing a combined alloy electrodeposition and electrochemical dealloying approach, porous nanostructures with controlled pore size and porosity have also been synthesized. Magnetization, Curie temperature, coercivity, saturation field, and remnant magnetization of these magnetic nanostructures exhibit much wider tunibility compared to bulk and thin film samples.
