CoNiFe and NiFe nanowires were electrochemically produced by dc electrodeposition on highly ordered porous anodic alumina oxide templates. Scanning electron microscope images of nanowires after removing the alumina membrane showed that these nanowires are uniform: with the diameters of about 220-300 nm and about 25-30 μm length. The energy dispersive X-ray analysis showed that the composition of the nanowires is Ni88Fe12, Co7Ni82Fe11. Magnetic field was applied by an electromagnet and resistance was measured by four point technique.
