Tuning Magnetic Anisotropy from Uniaxial To Easy-Plane Via Composition Gradient in Electrodeposited Co–CoW Nanowires

Key Points

• Magnetic anisotropy shifted from uniaxial to easy-plane, revealing a significant change in properties.
• This transition can optimize performance in magnetic devices and data storage technologies.
• Electrodeposition was employed to create Co–CoW nanowires with varying composition gradients for this analysis.
• Potential applications could emerge in advanced magnetic systems due to the tunability of anisotropy.
