abstract = {We have used electron holography to investigate the local
magnetic behavior of isolated ferromagnetic nanowires (NWs)
in their remanent states. The NWs consisted of periodic
magnetic layers of soft, high-saturation magnetization CoFeB
alloys, and non-magnetic layers of Cu. All NWs were
fabricated by pulsed-potential electrodeposition in
nanoporous alumina membranes. The NW composition and layer
thicknesses were measured using scanning transmission
electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The
magnetization of individual NWs depended upon the
thicknesses of the layers and the direction of an external
magnetic field, which had been applied in situ. When the
CoFeB was thicker than the diameter (50 nm), magnetization
was axial for all external field directions, while thinner
layers could be randomized via a perpendicular field. In
some cases, magnetization inside the wire was detected at an
angle with respect to the axis of the wires. In thinner
Cu/CoFeB (<10 nm each) multilayer, magnetic field vortices
were detected, associated with opposing magnetization in
neighbouring layers. The measured crystallinity,
compositions, and layer thicknesses of individual NWs were
found to be significantly different from those predicted
from calibration growths based on uniform composition NWs.
In particular, a significant fraction of Cu (up to 50
$at. \%)$ was present in the CoFeB layers such that the
measured magnetic induction was lower than expected. These
results will be used to better understand previously
measured effective anisotropy fields of similar NW arrays.},
