Abstract

Fe-rich Fe96-xZrxB4 (0≤x≤7) nanowires were first prepared by electrodepositing into anodic aluminum oxide templates. Transmission electron microscope analysis shows that the nanowires are uniform and are about 100 nm in diameter with an aspect ratio of around 75. The broad peaks of X-ray diffraction and the Mossbauer spectrum indicate that the Fe96-xZrxB4 nanowires are composed of α-Fe-like and Zr-rich FeZrB phases. Selected area electro diffraction results also indicate that the structure of Fe89Zr7B4 nanowires is amorphous. A vibrating sample magnetometer is employed to study the magnetic properties of nanowire arrays at room temperature. The coercivity of nanowire arrays in parallel to the wire axis decreases with increasing Zr content.
