Abstract
[EN] In this thesis has shown the ability to produce high quality thin films and nanostructures offering a unique opportunity to study them as model systems. Although different fabrication processes were employed, the optimization of the parameters along each one of them allowed to produce arrays of nanowires and antidots whose magnetic properties depend almost exclusively on their morphology and characteristic dimensions, with minimum in uence of the imperfections inherent to the different fabrication routes.
