Abstract

The directed orientation of ferromagnetic nanowires tethered to spatially controlled regions of a surface is reported. The Figure is a light microscope image of 9 μm‐long, two‐segment Au/Ni nanowires with a biotinylated Au segment tethered to patterned avidin tracks. The aspect ratio of the nickel segments is ∼ 50, so the magnetic easy axis is parallel to the wire axis. The nanowires have rotated to be parallel to an applied magnetic field.
