Frequently Asked Questions (9)
Q2. What is the reversal of a nanowire?
Assuming that the reversal of an individual nanowire produces a decrease of magnetostatic energy Ev that equals the magnetic anisotropy barrier DE , the macroscopic coercivity will be:11HC5 2K m0M S F12S NuEvuK D 1/2G , ~1! where 2K/m0M s denotes the intrinsic coercivity due to the magnetoelastic or magnetocrystalline anisotropies, K , and Ev the magnetostatic interaction between two nanowires.
Q3. What are the magnetic parameters of the nanowire arrays?
From the longitudinal and in-plane hysteresis loops magnetic parameters such as remanence, coercivity, or susceptibility are evaluated.
Q4. What is the reversal of the magnetic anisotropy barrier?
As the ratio r5d/D becomes large enough, the effective easy axis rotates from axial to transverse direction in the plane of the membrane.
Q5. What is the effect of the nanowires on the magnetic field?
As the diameter increases, nanowires effectively approach each other since the interwire distance is kept constant, and consequently they start to get magnetostatically coupled.
Q6. What is the effect of the magnetic interaction on the nanowires?
For nanowires initially magnetized in the same direction, the increase of magnetostatic interaction results in the magnetization reversal of N nanowires.
Q7. What is the evolution of coercivity for the larger value of r?
as observed in Fig. 3~b!, the evolution of coercivity loses linearity for the larger value of r seemingly as a consequence of a modification of the reversal mode due to an effective change of the magnetization easy axis from axialDownloaded 26 Feb 2010 to 161.111.180.191.
Q8. What is the coercivity of the nanowires?
coercivity remains almost constant ~around 180 Oe! with the increasing diameter but for the most dense array ~260 Oe!.
Q9. What is the reversal of the magnetic anisotropies?
It should be mentioned that a final increase of longitudinal coercivity and remanence has been observed for the case when long treatment in phosphoric acid makes nanopores to locally interconnect giving rise finally to collapse into a continuous film.
