N2 - Anodic Aluminum Oxide (AAO) was grown both as free-standing membranes and as integrated layers on Si as templates for arrays of magnetoresistive nanowires. The barrier layer was completely removed in both cases and Co/Cu multilayered nanowires were successfully grown in these templates by DC electrodeposition. Magnetic hysteresis loops and current-perpendicular-to-plane giant magnetoresistance (CPP-GMR) up to 25% were measured for nanowires grown in free standing AAO templates and in templates grown on Si. Spin transfer torque (STT) switching was also measured for multilayers grown in free standing templates with a switching current density of 2.7 x 108 A/cm 2.
