Abstract

In this work, we study the magnetic structure and morphology of the Fe nanodot system fabricated by the non-lithographic method, using anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane as a template. By the two-steps aluminum anodization, the AAO patterns with the hexagonal pore arrangement have been achieved. Using AAO pattern as a template, under suitable conditions we successfully deposited the iron metal in the pores by the thermal vacuum evaporation. By the exposure of the deposited system from the bottom of the AAO membrane, the hexagonal ordered Fe nanodot system has been obtained. The morphologies of the nanodot system were imaged by the Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Field Emission Scanning Microscopy (FESEM) methods. The magnetic structures were investigated by the Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (EDS) and Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM) methods. Experimental results confirmed that the MFM image of the fabricated Fe nanodot system is similar to their AFM image.
