Abstract:

Porous anodic aluminium oxide(AAO) template was fabricated by two-step anodization. Cobalt nanowires were formed in the pores of AAO template by using dc electrochemical deposition. The structure and magnetic properties of the sample were studied by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD) and vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM). The results show that the pores of the template were straight and had nearly the same diameter. Cobalt nanowires are hcp polycrystal. The cobalt nanowires show a clear magnetic anisotropy. This is mainly due to shape anisotropy.

Key words: Porous anodic aluminium oxide, Electrochemical deposition, Nanowire, Shape anisotropy
