Structural and magnetic properties of electrodeposited Ni70Fe30 nanowire array
Ordered Ni70Fe30 nanowire array was fabricated in a porous alumina template by alternating current electrodeposition. The structural and magnetic properties of the as-obtained nanowire array were investigated by SEM, TEM, XRD, EDS and VSM. The results indicate that the as-obtained Ni70Fe30 nanowires exhibit a diameter of about 69.9 nm and aspect ratio of more than 60. Meanwhile, a preferred orientation [110] of bcc lattice was observed. The as-obtained nanowire array has an obvious magnetic anisotropy, of which the easy direction is perpendicular to the surface of the array. Moreover, after annealed, the Ni70Fe30 nanowire array exhibits an enhanced magnetic anisotropy.
