Correlating Synthesis, Structure, and Thermal Stability of CuBi Nanowires for Spintronic Applications by Electron Microscopy and <i>in Situ</i> Scattering Methods.

ABSTRACT: Bi-doped copper (Cu_1-xBi_x) nanowires (NWs), promising candidates for spintronic applications due to their potential for a giant spin Hall effect (SHE), were synthesized, and their structural properties and thermal stability were investigated. Using template-assisted electrodeposition, Cu_1-xBi_x nanowires with varying bismuth (Bi) content (x = 0, 2, 4, and 7%) and different crystalline domain sizes were fabricated. Structural analysis by advanced electron microscopy and X-ray scattering techniques revealed the influence of synthesis conditions on the resulting NW crystal structure and microstructure, including Bi localization (within the lattice or in the grain boundaries), crystallite domain dimensions, and latti
