Segmented nanowires (NWs) have found a wealth of applications due to their multifuctionality, arising from complementarities and synergies among segments of different materials. However, to ensure a practical use of segmented NWs, high quality interfaces between dissimilar segments must be ensured. Herein, tri-segmented CoPt/Cu/Ni NWs and bisegmented CoPt/Ni magnetic NWs are fabricated by means of template-assisted electrodeposition and the characteristics of their interfaces are investigated in detail. The presence of a Cu segment sandwiched between the CoPt and the Ni segments severely affects the integrity of the whole NW. Namely, Cu deposits in a (200) textured face-centered cubic (fcc) structure, which cannot accommodate well on the c-axis oriented hexagonal closepacked CoPt. Instead, when the Cu segment is absent, well-connected CoPt/Ni NWs with smooth interface are obtained. Unlike the Cu segment, Ni shows the (111) textured fcc This is the accepted version of the following article: Zhang, J. et al.
