Popis: Understanding the magnetic properties of nanostructures is a field under continuous evolution. Not only the low-dimensional characteristics of the materials confer unique properties to those structures, but also the high degree of freedom when fabricating them increases the possibilities of tailoring their magnetic properties. The recent development of novel technologies that provide ways of both fabrication and characterization at the nanoscale have opened door to the obtainment of nanostructures with specifically designed magnetic properties. In this chapter we have reviewed some of these tailored nanostructures that are sometimes referred to as three-dimensional (3D) nanostructures, such as diameter-modulated nanowires and composition-modulated nanowires. Then, we compare these structures to actual 3D nanostructures, that is, those that take advantage of their design in three spatial dimensions. Finally, we discuss in depth one fascinating 3D self-sustained magnetic nanostructure which has been developed within our research group based on template grown inside 3D tailored alumina, which is obtained using only industrially scalable and highly tunable fabrication methods.
