Specific features of formation and growth mechanism of multilayered quasi-one-dimensional (Co-Ni-Fe)/Cu systems in pores of anodic alumina matrices

A method for fabricating multilayered quasi-one-dimensional ferromagnet-diamagnet systems is described by the example of Co-Ni-Fe/Cu nanowires. The fabrication is implemented in a unified technological cycle from a combined electrolyte by pulsed potentiostatic electrodeposition. Regimes of the formation of layers of different systems, from pure ferromagnetic metals to alloys on their basis, are described. Mechanisms of nanowire growth are proposed. The distribution of chemical elements in the layers is investigated as a function of the electrolyte composition and the fabrication conditions. The nanowire microstructure is investigated by high-resolution scanning electron microscopy.
