Abstract

Co52Pt48 nanowire arrays with diameter of about 10 nm have been fabricated by electrodeposition into the anodic aluminum oxide templates. The as-deposited nanowire arrays exhibit fcc structure with [110]-preferred texture along the wire axes. The nanowire arrays present both large magnetocrystalline anisotropy along the [111] direction and strong shape anisotropy along the wire axis, resulting in high coercive fields parallel and perpendicular to the wire axes, respectively. From experimental results and micromagnetic simulation, the coercive field variation as a function of the angles evidenced that the [111] magnetocrystalline anisotropy plays important role besides shape magnetic anisotropy.
