Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for patterning surfaces, generating templates from the patterned surfaces, then using those templates to manufacture magnetizable components with micro- or nanoscale control over the physical properties of the component.
Claims12
A method for growing concentrically layered materials comprising:
- forming patterned arrays of electrically conductive columns;
- growing concentrically layered materials on the patterned arrays of electrically conductive columns, and
- subsequently modifying the concentrically layered materials by immersion in a gaseous environment having compounds, molecules, or elements for implantation.
An apparatus for growing concentrically layered materials comprising:
- at least one vacuum chamber capable of controlling processing of samples for electroplating as well as gas phase deposition or implantation of materials, wherein the apparatus is used to sequentially grow and modify material films layer by layer.
