Magnetic behavior of NiCu nanowire arrays: Compositional, geometry and temperature dependence

Arrays of Ni100-xCux nanowires ranging in composition 0¿=¿x¿=¿75, diameter from 35 to 80¿nm, and length from 150¿nm to 28¿µm have been fabricated by electrochemical co-deposition of Ni and Cu into self-ordered anodic aluminum oxide membranes. As determined by X-ray diffraction and Transmission Elect...
