Electrodeposition of Ni–Cu alloys at high Cu(II) concentration and large overpotentials results in phase separation with a unique microstructure characterized by features with a copper-rich core and a nickel-rich shell. By confining deposition to nanoporous channels with dimensions comparable to or smaller than the grain size results in the formation of solid Ni–Cu nanowires with a copper-rich core and a nickel-rich shell. Etching of the copper-rich core results in the formation of Ni-rich nanotubes. The magnetic properties of the Ni–Cu nanowires and the Ni nanotubes are investigated. ©2008 American Institute of Physics
