Description
Summary:Within the context of the worldwide effort in the research and development in information technologies, an investigation has been conducted mainly on the electrodeposited Coi-xPtx embedded in anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) templates by an alternating current technique. To further an understanding of the structural, magnetic, optical and magneto-optical properties of Coi-xPtx (14 nm in diameter) nanowire arrays, the chemical composition, electrodeposition time and annealing temperature dependent characteristics have been studied.
