Nanoarrays of Co nanorods were formed by means of electrochemical deposition in the nanoporous SiO_2/n-Si templates. Structure and magnetic properties at room temperatures were studied by means of atomic force and scanning electron microscopies, vibrating sample magnetometry. The presence of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy component at room temperature makes Co nanorods in the nanoporous SiO_2/n-Si templates promising for nanoelectronic devices and biomedical applications.
