| Abstract: | A novel Co/InP magnetic semiconductor nanocomposite was fabricated by electrodeposition magnetic Co nanoparticles into n-type porous InP templates in ethanol solution of cobalt chloride. The content or particle size of Co particles embedded in
porous InP increased with increasing deposition time. Co particles had uniform distribution over pore sidewall surface of
InP template, which was different from that of ceramic template and may open up new branch of fabrication of nanocomposites.
The magnetism of such Co/InP nanocomposites can be gradually tuned from diamagnetism to ferromagnetism by increasing the deposition
time of Co. Magnetic anisotropy of this Co/InP nanocomposite with magnetization easy axis along the axis of InP square channel
was well realized by the competition between shape anisotropy and magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Such Co/InP nanocomposites
with adjustable magnetism may have potential applications in future in the field of spin electronics. |
