Carbon Nanotubes Based 3-D Matrix for Enabling Three- Dimensional Nano-Magneto-Electronics 1 1 2 3 4 5 Jeongmin Hong *, Eugenia Stefanescu , Ping Liang , Nikhil Joshi , Song Xue , Dmitri Litvinov , Sakhrat Khizroev1 1 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Florida International University, Miami, Florida, United States of America, 2 Department of Electrical Engineering, University of California Riverside, Riverside, California, United States of America, 3 Seagate Technology, Bloomington, Minnesota, United States of America, 4 MultiDimension, San Jose, California, United States of America, 5 Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Houston, Houston, Texas, United States of America Abstract This letter describes the use of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (CNT)-based arrays with estimated 2-nm thick cobalt (Co) nanoparticles deposited inside individual tubes to unravel the possibility of using the unique templates for ultra-high- density low-energy 3-D nano-magneto-electronic devices. The presence of oriented 2-nm thick Co layers within individual nanotubes in the CNT-based 3-D matrix is confirmed through VSM measurements as well as an energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).
