Large-area arrays of size-tunable Co nanomagnets have been fabricated using a methodology based on nanosphere lithography. The technique employs a monolayer of latex spheres as an inverse mask for the formation of Co elements by electrodeposition. By tuning the size of the spheres with reactive ion etching, magnetic elements of 310 and 240 nm diameter have been obtained. Analysis of the arrays using high-field torque magnetometry and three-dimensional micromagnetic modeling clearly demonstrates a change in anisotropy as the diameter of the elements is reduced. More detailed investigation of the field dependence indicates the presence of magnetic vortices at low fields.
