Synthesis of iron–palladium binary alloy nanotubes by template-assisted electrodeposition from metal-complex solution

Electrochemical syntheses of soft and hard magnetic Fe50Pd50-based nanotubes and their magnetic characterization

“…However, the main challenge we faced here was that the complexity of the deposition process increases when the aim is to deposit nanostructures into a porous template; this is because of the slow diffusion due to the deposition into long template channels and the low conductitivity surface. So far, Liu et al [8] have reported on the deposition of Fe-Pd nanotubes into alumina templates from a complex bath that consisted of ammonium citrate, citric acid and ammonium chloride and recently Haehnel et al [9] reported on the Fe-Pd nanowire synthesis into alumina templates from complexed ammonium-sulfosalicylic electrolyte. Here we report on the successful deposition of Fe-Pd nanotubes from a simple plating bath based only on ammonium citrate.…”

Functionalization of magnetic nanowires for biomedical applications

“…The pore diameters depend on the used anodization voltage and can be varied from 10 to 350 nm. The AAO template has been considered as an ideal template as it possesses many desirable characteristics, including tunable pore dimensions, good mechanical strength, thermal stability and ordered nanopores with a high density (10 9 -10 11 cm 2 ) (Schl€ orb et al, 2010b;Liu et al, 2009). A schematic of electrodeposition into a porous template is presented in Figure 20.1.…”

Microscopy image segmentation tool: Robust image data analysis

“…AAO membrane templates are used in many applications of large scale nanodot, nanopillar, and antidot fabrication. [21][22][23][24][25] Proper understanding of the nanostructure morphological parameters is critical for designing devices with predictable magnetic properties, superconducting pinning, and metamaterial behavior. 26,27 Interesting magnetic and electrical properties can be obtained in spatially anisotropic nanostructures.…”
