Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Electrodeposition in porous membranes or lithographically patterned templates offers a simple but powerful means of fabricating high-aspect ratio single-element or layered metal nanostructures (nanowires) with diameters down to a few tens of nm and lengths up to several um. such structures have proved very valuable in the past for magnetic and magnetotransport studies. By modifying the electrodeposition process it should be possible to prepare new classes of nanowire heterostructure incorporating, for example, ferromagnetic alloy layers with different Curie temperatures, or superconducting layers. The magnetic properties of the former and the transport properties of the latter will be of particular interest.This project will also develop some systems for which interesting preliminary results have already been obtained : granular alloy nanowires and arrays of highly-textured magnetic dots and pillars.
