Magnetotransport properties of high-quality cobalt nanowires grown by focused-electron-beam-induced deposition
نویسندگان
چکیده
High-quality cobalt nanowires have been grown by focused-electron-beam-induced deposition (FEBID) and their magnetic and transport properties determined. The nanowires contain up to about 95% Co atomic percentage, as measured by EDX spectroscopy, which remarkably represents a high value compared to other metal deposits grown by the same technique. The Co content has been found to correlate with the beam energy used for the growth. The magnetotransport properties have been studied on individual nanowires through 4-probe measurements. For the nanowires with the highest Co content, the resistivity at room temperature is low (~40 μΩcm), and shows metallic temperature dependence. The magnetotransport properties clearly demonstrate the ferromagnetic nature of the nanowire, with a saturation magnetization of Ms=1329±20 emu/cm 3 , very close to the bulk one. Due to the local character of this type of growth at targeted places and its high lateral resolution, these results pave the way for the creation of magnetic nanostructures and devices with the full potentiality of high-quality Co.

Magnetic properties of optimized cobalt nanospheres grown by focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID) on cantilever tips
In this work, we present a detailed investigation of the magnetic properties of cobalt nanospheres grown on cantilever tips by focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID). The cantilevers are extremely soft and the cobalt nanospheres are optimized for magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM) experiments, which implies that the cobalt nanospheres must be as small as possible while bearing...

Iron nanostructures grown by focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID) are promising for applications in magnetic sensing, storage and logic. Such applications require a precise design and determination of the coercive field (H C), which depends on the shape of the nanostructure. In the present work, we have used the Fe2(CO)9 precursor to grow iron nanowires by FEBID in the thickness ran...

متن کاملThree dimensional magnetic nanowires grown by focused electron-beam induced deposition
Control of the motion of domain walls in magnetic nanowires is at the heart of various recently proposed three-dimensional (3D) memory devices. However, fabricating 3D nanostructures is extremely complicated using standard lithography techniques. Here we show that highly pure 3D magnetic nanowires with aspect-ratios of ~100 can be grown using focused electron-beam-induced-deposition. By combini...
