A reliable and flexible synthesis route was used for processing high density Ni–BaTiO3 nanocable arrays based on wet chemical impregnation and subsequent electrodeposition within a highly ordered unidirectional porous alumina membrane. The core–shell structure was carefully investigated by bright field scanning transmission electronic microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The strength of the dipolar interaction arising from the packing density of the magnetic nanowires was correlated with the BaTiO3 wall thickness through magnetometry and ferromagnetic resonance measurements. Our approach opens a pathway to obtain optimized nanostructured multiferroic composites exhibiting tunable magnetic properties.
