Coercivity of 3D nanoscale magnetic arrays from self-assembly template methods

چکیده
We present results of electrochemical deposition of magnetic metals and alloys in the pores of templates prepared by self-assembly from colloidal suspensions of polystyrene latex spheres. This technique has enabled us to create highly ordered magnetic nano-structures with 3D architectures on length scales ranging from 50–1000 nm. Varying the parameters in the preparation (sphere diameter, film thickness and composition) allows us to produce materials with predetermined magnetic parameters. r 2003 Elsevier B.V.

Ordered sub-micron magnetic dot arrays using self-assembly template method
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 deposi...

Nanoscale magnetic materials are the basis of emerging technologies to develop novel magnetoelectronic devices. Self-assembly of polystyrene nanospheres is here used to generate 2D hexagonal dot arrays on Fe50Pd50 thin films. This simple technique allows a wide-area patterning of a magnetic thin film. The role of disorder on functional magnetic properties with respect to conventional lithograph...
متن کاملMacroscopic arrays of magnetic nanostructures from self-assembled nanosphere templates.
We have extended the widely used technique of nanosphere lithography to produce nanosphere templates with significantly improved long-range order. Single, ordered domains stretching over areas greater than 1 cm2 have been achieved by assembling spheres with the correct surface chemistry on a water/air interface. Self-assembly over macroscopic areas is facilitated by a combination of electrostat...
