Abstract

Polarized SANS results obtained on ferromagnetic Co nanowires embedded in alumina (Al2O3) porous matrices are reported. The triangular arrays of aligned nanowires are investigated as a function of the external magnetic field in order to determine experimentally the real space magnetization M’ (’r) distribution inside the material during the magnetic hys- teresis cycle. The observation of field-dependent SANS intensities allows us to characterize the influence of stray fields. Micromagnetic calculations are compared to the SANSPOL experimental data. These results show that SANSPOL is a technique able to address real-space magnetization distributions in magnetic nanosystems.
