Growth of magnetic nanowires along freely selectable 〈hkl〉 crystal directions

The crystal orientation of a magnetic nanowire can strongly influence its properties, yet nanowire growth with directional control remains challenging. Here, the authors use glancing angle deposition and angle switching to grow iron cobalt nanowires in seven different <hkl> crystal directions.
