Ordered sub-micron magnetic dot arrays using self-assembly template method
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using a self-assembly double template method, we have prepared highly ordered magnetic dot arrays of Ni on submicron scales. For the template preparation we have used colloidal suspensions of polystyrene latex spheres with different diameters ranging from 200 to 700 nm combined with secondary templates of the conducting polymer polypyrrole. By variation of the template parameters and the deposition charge the material shape can be modified significantly from isolated dots to connected 3D networks. Samples have been characterized by magnetometry. Magnetic properties were found to depend strongly on dot size and connectivity leading to a rich variety of magnetic behaviors. r 2004 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Oscillatory thickness dependence of the coercive field in three-dimensional anti-dot arrays from self-assembly
We present studies on magnetic anti-dot nano-structures with three-dimensional s3Dd architectures, fabricated using a self-assembly template method. We find that patterning transverse to the film plane, which is a unique feature of this method, results in novel magnetic behavior. In particular, one of the key parameters for a magnetic material, the coercive field Bc, was found to demonstrate an...

Achieving quantum dot self-assembly at precise pre-defined locations is of vital interest. In this work, a novel physical method for producing germanium quantum dots on silicon using nanoindentation to pre-define nucleation sites is described. Self-assembly of ordered ~10 nm height germanium quantum dot arrays on silicon substrates is achieved. Due to the inherent simplicity and elegance of the...
