Ensemble and single-object measurements of magnetic nanowires with modulated diameterKristina Pitzschel1, Josep M.

We utilize a porous alumina membrane as template with modulated diameter [1,2]. Filling the pores with Ni by electrodeposition delivers wires replicating the changes in diameter from 70 to 150 nm. These structures are ferromagnetic. Ensemble magnetic measurements by SQUID (Superconducting QUantum Interference Devic) and single-objetc measurements by Magneto-optical Kerr effect evidence a strong correlation between geometric parameters and magnetic properties. On the contrary to single-object measurements ensemble measuremets also show their dipolar interactions. Magneto-optical Kerr effect mea- surements on single wires reveal that motion of domain boundaries are blocked at certain changes in diameter. This demonstrates for the first time that domain wall motion can be controlled in nano-object prepared by a mass production method.[1] W. Lee et al., Nature Nan- otech. 3, 234 - 239 (2008).[2] K.
