Abstract

This chapter reports on the different electrochemical deposition methods for growing metallic and magnetic nanostructured materials by using highly hexagonally self-ordered nanoporous anodic alumina membranes as template substrates. The synthesis and study of the physicochemical properties of metallic and magnetic single or alloyed, as well as multisegmented and multilayered, transition metal-based nanowire arrays obtained by electroplating on nanoporous alumina membranes, as patterned templates, are discussed in detail. Particular attention is paid to their peculiar magnetic properties and tailoring of the magnetic anisotropy by carefully controlling their chemical compositions, spatial arrangement and nanowire dimensions, for tuning improved magnetic features with specific technological applications.
