Magnetic and mechanical properties of Ni-Au nanowires

초록/요약

Fabrication of simple nanowires is no longer state-of-the-art technology, since various synthetic methods of nanowires were studied not only in top-down approaches using conventional etching techniques and MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) fabrication methods but also in bottom-up approaches through CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition), VLS (Vapor-Liquid-Solid method), hydrothermal synthesis, electrochemical synthesis and the other modified methods. We investigated synthetic method of heterostructured nanowires with different kind of materials combined in a nanowire structure as multilayered structures. Synthesis of specific structures of Ni-Au nanowire system was performed with electrodeposition method into AAO (Anodized Aluminum Oxide) nanotemplates in one-bath using difference in reduction potentials of the precursor metal ions. The formation and microstructures of nanocrystalline multilayers have confirmed by TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) analysis and distinctive magnetic properties. Furthermore mechanical properties of single nanowires have investigated by quantitative in situ tensile testing in dual beam FIB (Focused Ion Beam) system.
