✦ Synopsis

200 kV). Specimens for scanning electron microscopy were fixed to a piece of copper tape and soaked in 2 M NaOH for 0.5 h to remove the alumina template. After careful rinsing with deionized water in three static rinse baths, the tape was attached to the SEM stub and sputtered with about a 5 nm layer of gold. SEM images were obtained using a Hitachi X650/EDAX, PV9100 SEM, and a JEOL 5610 LV SEM. The chemical compositions of the nanotubes and composite nanostructures were characterized by energy dispersive spectroscopy, which was performed in the scanning electron microscope with a WD-8 analyzer. The room-temperature magnetic characterization of the arrays of composite nanostructure was performed by using a Lake Shore 7303-9309 vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM).
