Abstract

Well-ordered Co90Pt10 nanotubes and nanowires have been fabricated into anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates by using a dc electrodeposition method. The effects of an external magnetic field on the magnetic properties of Co90Pt10 nanotubes and nanowires are investigated. The results show that the external magnetic field during electrodeposition has a significant effect on Co90Pt10 nanowires, as well as nanotubes. The external magnetic field induces good texture and large grain size in Co90Pt10 nanowires, causing a reduction of coercivity. An obvious uniaxial anisotropy is induced in Co90Pt10 nanotubes, causing the crossover of the easy axis along the directions of an external magnetic field.
