Description
Extending magnetic structures to the third dimension can lead to new properties such as magnetochi-rality effects and high data storage densities [1]. For the fabrication of three-dimensional magnetic nanostructures, suitable deposition methods need to be developed, as techniques such as sputtering lead to significant shadowing effects [2]. Here, we present the electroless deposition of NiFe on a 3D-printed, non-conductive architecture, where homogeneous layers covering the whole framework are achieved. This new technique represents a step towards the experimental realisation of 3D magnetic nanostructures.
