Abstract
Nanostructure applications have attracted a lot of attention in recent years. One-dimension magnetic nanowire has unique shape anisotropy and large surface area characteristics. The reversal process in a magnetic nanowire structure is quite different from that of thin film. The main focus of this thesis is to fabricate magnetic nanowires, including Ni, Fe and Fe-Pt nanowires in the AAO template, in which the pore diameter and aspect ratio can be controlled using chemical etching. We successfully fabricated high-anisotropic magnetic nanowires in the AAO and demonstrate that magnetic nanowire reversal is strongly related to the wire structure. As a result, the AAO template plays an important rule for nanowire fabrication and the study of the magnetization reversal in nanowires. For Fe-Pt nanowire electro-deposition, the FePt alloy can be fabricated by controlling the composition potential dependence. However, the continued and full-filled FePt nanowires are the parts which need further improvement.
