The influence of crystallinity enhancement on the magnetic properties of ac electrodeposited Fe nanowires

DC electrodeposition of NiGa alloy nanowires in AAO template

“…To estimate the influence of the Ga content on the microstructure of the nanowires, X-ray diffraction pattern of nanowires were performed at room temperature. In order to omit the background, coming from the aluminum substrate, the aluminum was removed [18]. As shown in Fig.…”

Electrodeposition efficiency of Ni in the fabrication of highly ordered nanowire arrays: The roles of Cu pre-plating and barrier layer temperature

“…According to the literature [24,25], the degree of crystallinity (C*) is defined as the ratio of total peak intensities (I) to the M sat of the NW samples (i.e., C*= I/M sat ).…”

“…Additionally, there is a facility in the pulsed electrodeposition that applies different durations of off-time between pulses in order to limit the hydrogen and heat evolutions at the deposition interface so as to stabilize the process [23]. Using a pulsed ac electrodeposition also improves the pore-filling of PAO templates, uniformity and crystallinity of the arrays of Fe, Co and Ni NWs due to the improvement in the homogeneity of the electrodeposition [13,24,25]. However, one of the major challenges in the pulsed ac electrodeposition process is the task of maintaining the dielectric property of the barrier layer during the process.…”

Magnetic properties improvement through off time between pulses and annealing in pulse electrodeposited CoZn nanowires

“…In order to omit the back ground, coming from the aluminum substrate, the aluminum was removed as we mentioned elsewhere [23]. As seen in Fig.…”
