Study of NiCu multilayer magnetic nanowires

Resumo

Magnetic nanowires play an important role both in basic research, since they can exhibit new physical phenomena, and technological applications, such magnetic sotrage and magnetic sensors. It was investigated the magnetic properties of magnetic nanowires composed of multilayers made of Ni and Cu, fabricated by electrodeposition method in alumina porous template. We obtained their magnetization curves at 2 K and 300 K, and it was intended to perform magnetoresistance measurements. The latter was not done, because it was encountered difficulties in trapping the nanowires between electrodes.
