Magnetic nanowires fabricated by anodic aluminum oxide template a brief review
Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) with highly ordered nanoscale pores which are monodisperse and mutually parallel can be produced through a self-organized electrochemical process. Subsequent deposition of materials into the nanopores produces AA0 embedded nanowire arrays. Whilst the templates can be furt...

Summary: | Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) with highly ordered nanoscale pores which are monodisperse and mutually parallel can be produced through a self-organized electrochemical process. Subsequent deposition of materials into the nanopores produces AA0 embedded nanowire arrays. Whilst the templates can be further removed to obtain free individual nanowires, the em- bedded nanowires form an interesting nanocomposite structure. Recent research activities on the fabrication and characteriza- tion of AAO template based magnetic nanowires are reviewed in this article. Studies of specific systems are given as an exam- ple of the research in the area. |
