Abstract—Ferromagnetic nanowires (FMNW) in porous alumina template are excellent candidates for monolithic integrated microwave devices that can be tuned by material properties and also by externally applied magnetic field. We designed, fabricated and characterized coplanar waveguide (CPW) structures on FMNW substrates. Ni and Co nanowires are grown by electrodeposition method and their surface morphology is determined using scanning electron microscope. We observed that operational frequency of Ni nanowire based band stop filter increases linearly with applied magnetic field and has very wide frequency tunability. Complex microwave permeability is calculated from the observed transmission response.
Index Terms—Ferromagnetic resonance, nanowires, coplanar waveguide, s-parameters.
