Journal of Applied Physics, 111(12). doi: 10.1063/1.47298070021-8979http://hdl.handle.net/10919/52385We report the growth and characterization of Co2FeAl nanowires. Nanowires are grown using electrospinning method and the diameters range from 50 to 500 nm. These nanowires exhibit cubic crystal structure with a lattice constant of a - 5.639 angstrom. The nanowires exhibit ferromagnetic behavior with a very high Curie temperature. The temperature dependent magnetization behavior displays an anomaly in the temperature range 600-850 K, which disappears at higher external magnetic fields. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.
