abstract = {Magnetic nanocaps, formed by depositing Co/Pd multilayers
on highly ordered arrays of silicananospheres, present a
promising area of study due to their unique properties. This
research focuseson fabricating and characterizing these
nanocaps and comparing them to films deposited on flat
silicon substrates. Using an advanced drop-casting method,
we prepared two-dimensional arraysof silica nanospheres with
diameters of 50 nm and 200 nm [1]. The curvature of these
nanospheresinduced lateral variations in film thickness,
affecting the material properties. Structural analysisusing
X-ray reflectivity and Grazing Incidence Small Angle X-ray
Scattering (GISAXS) revealed thecurvature-induced
morphology. Magnetic measurements via SQUID indicated
distinct properties, includinglow coercivity and altered
anisotropy axis direction, compared to flat films.
Depth-resolvedmagnetization profiles were determined using
Polarized Neutron Reflectivity (PNR). Additionally,Grazing
Incidence Small Angle Neutron Scattering (GISANS) was
employed to investigate in-planelateral magnetic
fluctuations. GISANS provided detailed information on the
spatial distribution andcorrelations of magnetic domains
within the nanocaps, revealing how the curvature and
thicknessvariations influence magnetic interactions at the
nanoscale. This comprehensive study correlatesthe magnetic
and structural properties of thin films with varying
thicknesses and nanosphere radii,enhancing our understanding
of curvature’s impact on nanostructure formation and
magnetic behavior,and guiding the design of functional
magnetic materials for technological
applications.References:[1] A. Qdemat, et.al., RSC Adv., 10,
