Abstract: | Ordered CoxPb1−x nanowire arrays embedded in the porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template have been fabricated by electrodeposition. XRD experiments prove that neither hexagonal-close-packed (hcp) nor face-centered-cubic (fcc) Co peaks are detected when the Co component (x) is below 0.91. The coercivity (Hc) and squareness (Mr/Ms) are found to increase with ferromagnetic Co component and the maximum value is at the position x=1 (pure Co nanowires). Annealing effects cause Hc and Mr/Ms increase, which surpasses the pure Co nanowires in the 0.2<x<0.6 at the annealing temperature of 700 °C. Microstructure change during annealing process is proposed to explain the magnetic properties change of samples. |
