Magnetic Anisotropy in Bicomponent Self-Assembled Ni and Ni-Pd Nanowires Studied by Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Self-ordered arrays of Ni, Ni(50)Pd(50), and Ni(78)Pd(22) nanowires were synthesized by simultaneous electrochemical deposition of Ni and Pd components into porous templates of anodic aluminum oxide using alternating current. This paper is focused on the interplay of structure and chemical composition of Ni and Ni-Pd bicomponent nanowires arrays and the peculiarities of its magnetic anisotropy.
