Study on different template-based production processes for magnetic nanowires
- Nickel-iron (NiFe) nanowires with a high contentof nickel and large aspect-ratio show promising characteris-tics for applications in modern micro-systems. In this study,nanowires with well-controlled diameter, height and compo-sition are fabricated using nanoporous poly-carbonate (PC)and anodized aluminum-oxide (AAO) membranes. Differ-ences between potentiostatic and pulsed deposition methodswere studied with regard to their flexibility and a recommen-dation for the best use of the individual types is given. Withthe application of the presented processes, future technolo-gies as magnetic energy-harvesting or nano-fluxgate sensorscan be improved.
