Abstract

Abstract : A detailed characterization of the interfaces in segmented nanowires made of hard‐magnetic CoPt and soft‐magnetic Ni, with and without the presence of Cu in between, obtained by sequential electrodeposition is reported by Jordi Sort, Eva Pellicer, and coworkers in article 1600336. Contrary to the CoPt/Cu interface, CoPt and Ni form a smooth and robust junction. The different textures observed have a decisive impact on the quality of the segment interfaces.
