Electron beam lithography combined with electrodeposition was used to fabri
cate arrays of NiFe and Fe nanomagnets with high aspect ratios (height/diam
eter). MFM-measurements show the single domain behavior of the NiFe-pillars
, which have an easy axis parallel to their long axis. AGM-measurements car
ried out on large NiFe-arrays clearly show the increasing importance of int
eraction effects with decreasing periodicity. On top of overgrown Fe-pillar
s a nanocrystalline structure can be observed.
