Functional Nanostructures Fabricated by Focused Electron/Ion Beam Induced Deposition

Part of the book series: Springer Theses ((Springer Theses))

Abstract

We performed a detailed study of the magnetotransport properties and the microstructure in iron microwires grown by focused electron beam induced deposition as a function of Fe content, which varies from 45 to 70 %. Magnetotransport mechanisms have been investigated in detail over a wide range of temperatures and applied magnetic fields.
