Abstract: In this paper, various mesoscopic structures made of cobalt nanocrystals are presented. It is demonstrated that the evaporation time and the application of an external magnetic field during the evaporation process play a major role in the shape of mesostructure obtained. Their magnetic properties change with the shape of the mesostructure.
