Abstract
A system for fabricating anisotropic magnetic nanowire composites includes a chamber for containing an ionic fluid. A hole in a wall of the chamber allows for the ionic fluid to be in contact with a porous template outside of the chamber, and a cathode and an anode provide an electric field across the ionic fluid and porous template. The electric field causes ionic materials in the ionic fluid to migrate into the pores of the porous template, therefore plating nanowires in the porous template. Constant distances and positions of the anode, cathode, a reference probe, and a stirring element allow for the fabrication of longer, more uniform nanowires, and for the generation of consistent magnetic nanowire composites across multiple fabrication sessions.
