Magneto-optical properties of nickel nanowire arrays
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on the magneto-optical properties of hexagonally arranged Ni nanowires embedded in anodic alumina templates. Due to the nanowire geometry, these samples show different response depending on the polarization orientation of the incident light, which leads to a high anisotropy of both their optical and magneto-optical properties. A strong increase of the magneto-optical activity is clearly observed with respect to the Ni bulk material. We associate this behavior to plasmon resonance of the Ni nanowires. © 2003 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1630840#

Magnetic and magneto optical characteristics of nanowire arrays embedded in anodic aluminium oxide
Our recent work on the fabrication and properties of ordered elemental (Co, Fe) and alloy (Co1-xPtx) nanowire arrays embedded in anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) templates is reviewed. Nanowires with diameters from sub-micron to nano-metre have been fabricated using an electrodeposition technique. The nanowire array structure, crystallographic structure, magnetic properties, and magneto-optical pro...
متن کاملTuneable magneto-optical metamaterials based on photonic resonances in nickel nanorod arrays
We investigate the magneto-optical properties of a nanostructured metamaterial comprised of arrays of nickel nanorods embedded in an anodized aluminum oxide template. The rods are grown using a self-assembly bottom-up technique that provides a uniform, quasi-hexagonal array over a large area, quickly and at low cost. The tuneability of the magneto-optic response of the material is investigated ...
متن کاملOptical and magneto-optical properties of gold core cobalt shell magnetoplasmonic nanowire arrays.
In this work we present core-shell nanowire arrays of gold coated with a nanometric layer of cobalt. Despite the extremely small Co volume, these core-shell nanowires display large magneto-optical activity and plasmonic resonance determined by the geometry of the structure. Therefore, we are able to tune both the plasmonic and magneto-optical response in the visible range. Through optical and e...
متن کاملHybrid plasmonic lattices with tunable magneto-optical activity.
We report on the optical and magneto-optical response of hybrid plasmonic lattices that consist of pure nickel and gold nanoparticles in a checkerboard arrangement. Diffractive far-field coupling between the individual emitters of the lattices results in the excitation of two orthogonal surface lattice resonance modes. Local analyses of the radiation fields indicate that both the nickel and gol...
متن کاملMagneto-optical response in bimetallic metamaterials
We demonstrate resonant Faraday polarization rotation in plasmonic arrays of bimetallic nanoring resonators consisting of Au and Ni sections. This metamaterial design allows to optimize the trade-off between the enhancement of magneto-optical effects and plasmonic dissipation. Nickel sections corresponding to as little as ∼ 6% of the total surface of the metamaterial result in magneto-optically...
