Electrodeposition of Ferromagnetic Nanostructures

Abstract

The fabrication of one-dimensional ferromagnetic nanostructured materials such as nanowires and nanotubes by the electrodeposition technique is discussed. The size, shape and structural properties of nanostructures are analysed by controlling the dep-osition parameters such as precursors used, deposition potential, pH, etc. The growth of nanostructures and various characterization techniques are studied to support their one-dimensionality. A comparative study of ferromagnetic nanowires and nanotubes is made using angular-dependent ferromagnetic resonance technique.
