abstract = "Colloidal crystal templated assembly combined with chemical synthesis technique was used to synthesize curved magnetic nanostructures (cobalt nanobowls). Borohydride reduction of cobalt salt within the interstitials of colloidal templates of polystyrene (PS) spheres followed by annealing resulted in periodic metallic cobalt nanobowl arrays with minimal volume shrinkage. The effect of annealing temperature and atmosphere was found to be important to obtain metallic cobalt. Structural analysis was carried out to investigate the two phase (h.c.p and f.c.c) microstructure of the cobalt nanobowls. Coercivity of these cobalt nanobowls was found to be greater than their nanoparticles or thin film counterparts. Size effect on coercivity value of cobalt nanobowls was also observed.",
