Abstract

The room temperature structural, magnetization and magnetoresistive properties of Ni-nanowires of diameters 18, 30 and 78 nm and various lengths, fabricated by electrochemical deposition of Ni in the nanopores of anodic alumina, are investigated. The crystallographic orientation depends on the diameter of nanowires. Nanowires show perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and enhanced coercivity (Hc) and remanent magnetization (Mr) values of up to 500 Oe and 50% respectively. An electrodeposited Ni-layer (5 μm) on copper substrate shows in plane magnetic anisotropy and the Hc and Mr values are 97 Oe and 37%. Ni-nanowires and Ni-layer show an anisotropic magnetoresistive behaviour.
