Abstract
Nanowire is a cylindrical nano-structure with nanometer dimensions. In this research, the studied nanowire was made from the magnetic triple Ni-Fe-Co alloy.
We utilized ordered porous anodic aluminum oxide as a template for the nanowire deposition. The nanowire arrays were electrodeposited in the cylindrical pores of the oxide layer by AC potential in a simple sulfate bath. Then the relation of shape and composition of the nanowires with their fabrication parameters was investigated. The results showed that the barrier layer modification had an essential role in the deposition process and a composition gradient was detected in a single nanowire.
