Magnetic hysteresis and morphology.
(a), Magnetization loops of an aligned Co nanowire sample in epoxy (along parallel and perpendicular direction) at 300 K. (b), Magnetization loops of aligned Co nanowires in epoxy (along parallel and perpendicular direction) at 300 K. (c–d), Second quadrant B-H curves for the aligned Co nanowires in epoxy (along the easy axis) at 300 K of sample (a) and (b) respectively. (e–f), TEM images of the Co nanowires corresponding to samples (a) and (b) respectively. (g–h), The histograms of the Co nanowires showing their length distributions of the samples shown in (e) and (f) respectively obtained using statistical analysis of ~600 nanowires each.
