Magnetic Nanowires for Sensor Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nickel nanowires were synthesised using a template free chemical method. The phase purity and crystallinity of the synthesized nanowires were studied. Nickel nanowires with diameters of approximately 100-120 nm have exhibited a saturation magnetisation value of 51 emu/g and coercivity of 300 Oe which makes them potential candidates for magnetic sensor applications.
