ИСТИНА

Nanowires (NWs) are one-dimensional threads with a diameter of several tens of nanometers and a length of several microns. Such structures are of great interest for practical applications. For example, NWs made of 3d-metals have unique magnetic characteristics. For NWs made of alloys, it is possible to change the magnetic properties over a wide range by changing the concentration of metals. For layered NWs – consisting of layers of different composition alternating along the length – properties can be varied by changing the composition and thickness of layers. These objects could be used in electronics and spintronics – for example, as sensors.
