摘要
Ultrathin Fe nanowire (about 5 nm in diameter) arrays have been fabricated by electrodeposition using anodic porous alumina templates. These ultrathin nanowires exhibited uniaxial anisotropy and a quite large coercivity (4190 Oe) at 5 K. In addition, the field needed to saturate the magnetization, when the field was applied perpendicularly to the easy axis, was much larger than the shape anisotropy field (2piM(S)). This saturation field increased with decreasing temperature. We believed that this enhanced saturation field was mainly due to the contribution of the surface spins.
