Abstract
We fabricated arrays of parallel nanowires. Each of the nanowires consists of two different magnetic metals. Using Raman spectrometry, we studied the spectra that appear when a heterojunction between metals is illuminated by a laser and studied the effect of an external magnetic field on the spectra. We also measured the dependence of the intensity of the spectra on the position of the laser spot (in the region of heterojunctions) and on the radiation intensity and we hypothesized the threshold nature of excitation. Near the contact of two metals, the symmetry of the crystal lattice is broken due to amorphization, and a nonzero orbital momentum of the electrons appears. As a result, another radiative transition of electrons become allowed without spin flip, which is sensitive to the magnetic field.
