Abstract
Disclosed are an Fe—Au barcode type nanowire and a method of manufacturing the same. The nanowire has a magnetic-optical multifunction and is suitable for adjusting magnetic intensity thereof. The Fe—Au nanowire has a multilayered structure, in which an iron layer and a gold layer are alternately and repeatedly formed, and is formed in a single plating bath through a pulse electro-deposition.
Claims12
A method of manufacturing a barcode nanowire having a superior biocompatibility, the method comprising the steps of:
- preparing a nanotemplate having a pore and representing insulating property;
- disposing the nanotemplate in an electrolytic solution including a first precursor for generating an iron ion and a second precursor for generating a gold ion;
- and
- performing an electro-deposition to alternately and repeatedly form an iron layer and a gold layer in the pore,
- wherein the electro-deposition step galvanostaticaly controls how iron ions and gold ions deposit into the pore, the electro-deposition step including a first step of forming the iron layer by applying a first current and a second step of forming the gold layer by applying a second current, the second has a current density lower than a current density of the first current, and the first and second steps are alternately and repeatedly performed until the nanowire has a required length,
- wherein the density of the first current is in a range of from 10 mA/cm2 to 50 mA/cm2, and the density of the second current is in a range of from 0.2 mA/cm2 to 2 mA/cm2, and
- wherein a molarity ratio of an iron to a gold ion is within a range of 4:1 to 40:1 in the electrolytic solution.
