Abstract

A template-assisted assembly technique combined with a chemical synthesis approach has been used to produce high density magnetic cobalt nanowire arrays. Cobalt nanowires were formed using chemical synthesis techniques, by borohydride reduction of cobalt salt in the pores of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates; the samples were annealed in order to achieve nanowires with hcp crystal structure. The morphology and the crystal structure were controlled by the template geometry and annealing conditions, respectively. Magnetic property measurements showed the influence of morphology and crystal structure on the magnetic properties of the arrays.
