Abstract

We have applied the method of nanosphere lithography to fabricate arrays of nanometer-scale gold and cobalt particles. The individual cobalt particles were found to be in a single domain state as verified by magnetic force microscopy. By tuning the preparation conditions, we also successfully fabricated arrays of mesoscopic gold rings for the first time with potential application for persistent current experiments.
