Coercivity of 3D nanoscale magnetic arrays from self-assembly template methods

We present results of electrochemical deposition of magnetic metals and alloys in the pores of templates prepared by self-assembly from colloidal suspensions of polystyrene latex spheres.

Description
Summary:We present results of electrochemical deposition of magnetic metals and alloys in the pores of templates prepared by self-assembly from colloidal suspensions of polystyrene latex spheres. This technique has enabled us to create highly ordered magnetic nano-structures with 3D architectures on length scales ranging from 50-1000 nm. Varying the parameters in the preparation (sphere diameter, film thickness and composition) allows us to produce materials with predetermined magnetic parameters.
