Abstract
Fe3O4 nanowire arrays with an average diameter of about 120 nm and lengths up to 8 μm were synthesized in anodic aluminum oxide templates through electrodepositing and heat treating a precursor β-FeOOH. The nanowires have a polycrystalline spinel structure with a=8.31 A and each nanowire is composed of fine particles. Influences of the sintering and the reducing temperatures on the products have been demonstrated by Mossbauer spectra and X-ray diffraction. It was found that high-coercivity nanowires can be obtained when the precursor was sintered at 500 °C in air and then reduced at 325 °C in H2. Hysteresis loops measured at room temperature show a clear perpendicular magnetic anisotropy.
