Magnetic alignment is reported as a facile technique for assembling nanowires into hierarchical structures. Cross junction and T junction nanowire networks are demonstrated using a sequential alignment technique on unpatterned substrates and predefined lithographically patterned ferromagnetic electrodes. The formation of T junctions prevails as nanowires from the first alignment behave as ferro...

The emergence of superconductivity-induced phase-controlled forces in the (10(-2)-10(-1)) nN range and of magnetization oscillations in nanowire junctions is discussed. A giant magnetic response to applied weak magnetic fields is predicted in the ballistic Josephson junction formed by a superconducting tip and a surface, bridged by a normal-metal nanowire where Andreev states form.

We report on transport measurements of an InAs nanowire coupled to niobium nitride leads at high magnetic fields. We observe a zero-bias anomaly (ZBA) in the differential conductance of the nanowire for certain ranges of magnetic field and chemical potential. The ZBA can oscillate in width with either the magnetic field or chemical potential; it can even split and re-form. We discuss how our re...

We theoretically study the current-phase relation in semiconductor nanowire Josephson junction in the presence of spin-orbit interaction. In the nanowire, the impurity scattering with strong SO interaction is taken into account using the random matrix theory. In the absence of magnetic field, the Josephson current I and phase difference φ between the superconductors satisfy the relation of I(φ)...

Electronic structures, magnetic properties, and spin-dependent electron transport characteristics of C-doped ZnO nanowires have been investigated via first-principles method based on density functional theory and nonequilibrium techniques of Green's functions. Our calculations show that the doping of carbon atoms in a ZnO nanowire could induce strong magnetic moments in the wire, and the electr...

The controlled production of magnetic nanowire arrays with outstanding characteristics is attracting much interest recently owing to their applications in emerging technologies related with magnetic information storage. Template electrodeposition is an efficient approaching method to fabricate these magnetic nanowires. In this paper, progresses and developments on the electrodeposition of magne...

Highly hexagonally ordered hard anodic aluminum oxide membranes, which have been modified by a thin cover layer of SiO2 deposited by atomic layer deposition method, were used as templates for the synthesis of electrodeposited magnetic Co-Ni nanowire arrays having diameters of around 180 to 200 nm and made of tens of segments with alternating compositions of Co54Ni46 and Co85Ni15. Each Co-Ni sin...
