Cobalt nanowires were synthesized with varying spacing-to-diameter ratios, and it was found that the easy magnetization direction switches from parallel to perpendicular to the nanowire growth direction under certain conditions. The magnetic interactions among the nanowires were mainly through dipolar interactions, resulting in additional uniaxial anisotropy. Further reduction in spacing-to-diameter ratio led to isotropic behavior in the nanowires' magnetic properties.
Cobalt nanowires have been synthesized by electrochemical deposition using track-etched anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. Nanowires with varying spacing-to-diameter ratios were prepared, and their magnetic properties were investigated. It is found that the nanowires' easy magnetization direction switches from parallel to perpendicular to the nanowire growth direction when the nanowire's spacing-to-diameter ratio is reduced below 0.7, or when the nanowires' packing density is increased above 5%. Upon further reduction in the spacing-to-diameter ratio, nanowires' magnetic properties exhibit an isotropic behavior. Apart from shape anisotropy, strong dipolar interactions among nanowires facilitate additional uniaxial anisotropy, favoring an easy magnetization direction perpendicular to their growth direction. The magnetic interactions among the nanowires were studied using the standard method of remanence curves. The demagnetization curves and Delta m (& UDelta;m) plots showed that the nanowires interact via dipolar interactions that act as an additional uniaxial anisotropy favoring an easy magnetization direction perpendicular to the nanowire growth direction. The broadening of the dipolar component of & UDelta;m plots indicate an increase in the switching field distribution with the increase in the nanowires' diameter. Our findings provide an important insight into the magnetic behavior of cobalt nanowires, meaning that it is crucial to design them according to the specific requirements for the application purposes.
