Nano Wires / Nano Rods

Cobalt Nanowires as a ferromagnetic material, have attracted considerable attention due to their outstanding magnetic properties and excellent performance in applications in high-density magnetic storage media, in immune magnetic separation, in gene delivery and as targeted drug carrier.

Cobalt Nanowires (NWs) are ideal materials for the fabrication of various multifunctional nanostructures which can be manipulated by an external magnetic field. Highly crystalline and textured nanowires of nickel (NiNWs) and cobalt (CoNWs) with high aspect ratio (~330) and high coercively have been synthesized by electrodeposition using nickel sulphate hexahydrate (NiSO4·6H2O) and cobalt sulphate heptahydrate (CoSO4·7H2O) respectively on nanoporous alumina membranes.

Cobalt Nanowires, and scanning precession-electron diffraction to obtain their crystalline orientation phase map, allowed us to directly visualize with high accuracy the effect of crystallographic texture on the magnetization of nanowires.

Cobalt Nanowires the optical and electrical measurements revealed the Ag NW networks to be effective transparent conductors, for which the optical transmittance and sheet resistance can be tuned by varying the wire diameter and pitch.

Cobalt Nanowires coatings are notable for several uses; one of its most significant benefits is its wear resistance in higher temperature environments. Chromium carbide coatings for applications that require resistance for wear by abrasion, hard surfaces, fretting, and particle erosion.
