The effect of the applied potentials difference on the phase composition of Co nanowires

The influence of the applied potentials difference on the structural, magnetic, and conductive properties, as well as the phase composition of Co nanowires obtained by electrochemical synthesis is considered. The dependences of the change in structural parameters for Co nanowires, as well as phase transformations on the difference of the applied potentials are established. It was shown that using an applied potential difference of 1.25-1.5 V allows one to obtain nanowires with a hexagonal type of crystal lattice, and increasing the potential difference to 2.5-2.75 V allows one to obtain structures with domination by a cubic face-centered phase with a distinguished texture direction. A change in the degree of texturing from nanowires leads to a change in magnetic characteristics, as well as a change in the graphs of the current - voltage curves. The prospects of applying the method of electrochemical synthesis to obtain Co nanowires to different phase composition by showing the difference in the applied potentials are shown.
