Evolution of the Magnetic Moment Distribution of Arrays of Nanowires Studied by Mfm

The development of high-density magnetic storage media based on magnetic nanostructures is currently attracting a great interest. The self-organization techniques reveal as one of the most efficient methods to obtain nanostructures in a large scale. Among these techniques (growth of islands, ion irradiation, particles assembly, etc) we have used the selective electrodeposition of metals to fabricate highly ordered arrays of magnetic nanowires embedded in porous alumina [1,2].
