Abstract

The template-assisted electrodeposition technique has been utilized to synthesize highly ordered, well-aligned, and dense Co–Cu multilayer nanowires. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy has been carried out to study the in situ growth process of multilayer nanowires at different electrodeposition times. Scanning electron microscopy revealed well defined multilayer interfaces. X-ray diffraction investigations of Co–Cu multilayer nanowires showed that the Cu as well as Co deposits exhibit the face centered cubic texture. Magnetic measurements of these multilayer nanowires were also done for the fields applied parallel and perpendicular to the wires axes.
