This dissertation describes experimental studies of the structures and properties, and their correlations in ferromagnetic nanowires and nanotubes fabricated using porous templates. Ferromagnetic Ni and Fe nanowires with diameters 30 ~ 250 nm were electroplated into the pores of anodic aluminum oxide membranes. The effects of nanowire diameter on structural and magnetic properties were investigated. The microstructures of these nanowires were studied using X-ray diffraction and selected-area electron diffraction measurements. The magnetic properties of the nanowires were investigated using magnetic hysteresis measurements and magnetic force microscopy. Additionally, ferromagnetic Ni-P nanotubes were fabricated using an electroless chemical deposition method. Structure and composition analyses were conducted using X-ray diffraction and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. The magnetic properties of the nanotube arrays and the electronic properties of individual nanotubes were studied. Hysteresis measurements revealed that the 250-nm diameter Ni nanowires had a poor squareness in their hysteresis loops, indicating the existence of multi-domain states. In comparison, the squareness in the hysteresis loops of 60-nm and 30-nm Ni nanowires was much improved, suggesting the existence of single domain states in these smaller diameter nanowires. Magnetic force microscopy measurements confirmed the magnetic domain structures suggested by magnetic hysteresis measurements. Similar investigations of Fe nanowires with diameters of 250 nm and 60 nm found that they all have multidomain magnetic structures. This is expected based on their material properties and polycrystalline structures. Furthermore, magnetic structures of Y-branches and multi-wire clusters were also studied using magnetic force microscopy. The as-prepared Ni-P nanotubes had an amorphous structure. Following a heat treatment, however, a structural phase transformation from the amorphous phase to a crystalline phase was observed using X-ray diffraction measurements. The tetragonal crystalline phase of Ni3P and the face-centered-cubic phase of Ni were confirmed via simulations by the GSAS software. The high Ni3P content accounts for the semiconducting behavior and a low magnetic anisotropy observed in the Ni-P nanotubes.
