M. Winzer et al., FABRICATION OF NANO-DOT-ARRAY AND NANO-RING-ARRAY BY NANOSPHERE LITHOGRAPHY, Applied physics A: Materials science & processing, 63(6), 1996, pp. 617-619
We have applied the method of nanosphere lithography to fabricate arra
ys of nanometer-scale gold and cobalt particles. The individual cobalt
particles were found to be in a single domain state as verified by ma
gnetic force microscopy. By tuning the preparation conditions, we also
successfully fabricated arrays of mesoscopic gold rings for the first
time with potential application for persistent current experiments.
