Electrodeposition of CoPt Magnetic Nanowires with Controlled Microstructure Using a Pt(111) Seed Layer.

ABSTRACT: The CoPt nanowires (NWs) with a 100 nm diameter are grown by electrodeposition using a single bath containing Pt and Co cations. The NWs are electrodeposited into a porous membrane coated with a Pt(111) seed layer as the working electrode. The atomic structure, morphology, composition, and magnetic properties of CoPt NWs are investigated in detail using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), and vibrating-sample magnetometer (VSM). Results indicate that the use of a Pt(111) seed layer is crucial to controlling the microstructure of NWs. Specifically, a preferred (001) texture is obtained at constant potential E₁ = -1000 mV (vs Ag/AgCl). Moreover, using periodic pulse depo
