Abstract

The research presented in this abstract pertains to nanowire-structured magnetic sensors fabricated by pulsed, template electrodeposition relying on giant magnetoresistance (GMR). System fabrication involves electrodepositing metals with a DC-biased square wave from a solution of iron-manganese solution into the porous aluminum oxide surface of an aluminum sheet. The chemical make-up of the resulting 20nm diameter, 500nm length nanowires was 6 at% manganese and 45 at% iron, which is desirable because the ferromagnetic layers (Fe) should be large in comparison with the nonmagnetic layers (Mn). The resulting nanowires exhibited a 73% drop in resistance when exposed to an external magnetic field.
