Scanning Electron Microscopy magnetic nanowires

Last month our postdoc David Lago-Cachón and his colleague Niketan Patel were awarded with the second place on the Best Scientific Capture Award organized by the 5th Young Researchers in Magnetism #YRinM2021. The contest was sponsored by Universitat de Girona, Spanish Magnetism Club (CEMAG) and IEEE-Magnetics Society. The image shows highly-ordered anodized alumina in the shape of honeycomb. The side length of the hexagons is around 100 nm. These alumina templates are commonly used to fabricate magnetic nanowires using for example the protocol described in Patel NS et al.
