“…At room temperature, the magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant of bulk hcp cobalt was determined to be K 1 = 5.0 × 10 6 erg/cm 3 , while the shape anisotropy of magnetic nanowires was reported to be K s = π M 2 s = 6.10 6 erg/cm 3 [21]. From both the basic and applied research perspectives, a clear understanding of the effects of synthesis parameters (e.g., deposition current and time, pH solution) [22,23,24,25,26,27] and morphology (e.g., wire length and diameter) [6,9,28,29] on the magnetic properties of ordered nanowire arrays is essential. Despite some previous efforts [16,17], effects of the wire diameter on the magnetic properties of the ordered CoNiP nanowire arrays remained to be investigated.…”
