Template Assisted Ni Nanowires Fabrication

Abstract

Through-pores alumina membranes of 50 μm thickness and 70 × 70 mm size have been fabricated to deposit Ni nanowires by electrochemical processing. Due to highly ordered microstructure of the membranes, the pores were filled by nanowires almost to 100%. The membrane nanowires composite morphology; structure and chemical features have been studied by scanning electron microscopy, atomic-force microscopy and X-ray structural analysis. To measure the specific magnetization σ as a function of temperature in the range of 77–1400 K, the pondero-motive method was used.
