Spin configuration in isolated FeCoCu nanowires modulated in diameter.

چکیده
Cylindrical Fe28Co67Cu5 nanowires modulated in diameter between 22 and 35 nm are synthesized by electroplating into the nanopores of alumina membranes. High-sensitivity MFM imaging (with a detection noise of 1 μN m(-1)) reveals the presence of single-domain structures in remanence with strong contrast at the ends of the nanowires, as well as at the transition regions where the diameter is modulated. Micromagnetic simulations suggest that curling of the magnetization takes place at these transition sites, extending over 10-20 nm and giving rise to stray fields measurable with our MFM. An additional weaker contrast is imaged, which is interpreted to arise from inhomogeneities in the nanowire diameter.

Domain wall pinning in FeCoCu bamboo-like nanowires
The three dimensional nature of cylindrical magnetic nanowires has opened a new way to control the domain configuration as well as the magnetization reversal process. The pinning effect of the periodic diameter modulations on the domain wall propagation in FeCoCu individual nanowires is determined by Magnetic Force Microscopy, MFM. A main bistable magnetic configuration is firstly concluded fro...
متن کاملEfficient thermoelectric energy conversion on quasi-localized electron states in diameter modulated nanowires
It is known that the thermoelectric efficiency of nanowires increases when their diameter decreases. Recently, we proposed that increase of the thermoelectric efficiency could be achieved by modulating the diameter of the nanowires. We showed that the electron thermoelectric properties depend strongly on the geometry of the diameter modulation. Moreover, it has been shown by another group that ...
متن کاملSingle Electron Spin Control in Semiconductor Nanowires
We study the level crossing in the energy spectrum due to Rashba-Dresselhaus spinorbit coupling in nanowires modulated by longitudinal potential. By implementing both an analytical methodology and a numerical technique based on the finite element method (FEM), we show that the level crossing point can be manipulated with the application of spin-orbit coupling in parabolic nanowires. In particul...
متن کاملSpatially Modulated Two-Photon Luminescence from Si-Au Core-Shell Nanowires
Si-Au core-shell nanowires were synthesized with a two-step strategy combining chemical vapor deposition and wet chemistry methods. Si core diameter, Au shell thickness, and wire length were controlled during synthesis. Under a far-field twophoton excitation scanning microscope, spatially modulated twophoton luminescence (TPL) was observed from the core-shell nanowires prepared with several mic...
متن کاملGibbs-Thomson Effect in Planar Nanowires: Orientation and Doping Modulated Growth.
Epitaxy-enabled bottom-up synthesis of self-assembled planar nanowires via the vapor-liquid-solid mechanism is an emerging and promising approach toward large-scale direct integration of nanowire-based devices without postgrowth alignment. Here, by examining large assemblies of indium tin oxide nanowires on yttria-stabilized zirconia substrate, we demonstrate for the first time that the growth ...
