Magnetic Properties of Co-B Nanostructures Prepared via Electroless Deposition

Article Preview

Abstract:

We have investigated the magnetic properties of nanostructured Co-B alloys, that were prepared via electroless deposition. The deposition process results in the formation of a nanostructure consisting of nanotubes connected to thin films at both ends. Depending on the deposition time end-open or end-closed nanotubes can be formed. The overall nanostructure of Co-B deposit has a specific magnetization of 65.6 ± 8 JT-1Kg-1 (0.75 ± 0.09 μB per Co atom). We also investigated the anisotropy of the nanostructure by carrying out magnetic measurements with and without the top and base films. We only observed magnetic anisotropy in nanostructures with thin films, which had minimum coercivities of 557 A/m (7 Oe) and 4536 A/m (57 Oe) measured parallel and perpendicular to the nanotube axis. The nanotubes do not show any significant anisotropy with coercivities of 8753 A/m (110 Oe) and 7161 A/m (90 Oe) parallel and perpendicular to the nanotube axis.
