| Abstract Scope |
Fe-Mn as well as that of Fe-Ni alloy films are can be deposable by electrochemical means from reducing aqueous solution or thermally reducing vacuum or furnace atmospheres on insulator, semiconductor or conductive substrate surfaces. These alloy films is soft ferromagnetic materials possessing low residual induction, low hysteresis loop and low coercive force, maximum permeability and low thermal coefficient of thermal expansion useful for various applications. Thermally produced films are thinner with limited crystalline structures ranging from nano to polycrystalline or amorphous film structures. Electrochemically produced film are cheap requiring low temperature applications and the films produce ranges from nano to polycrystalline structures, amorphous and other forms of microstructures that could not be produced by thermal means. These are soft ferromagnetic films that could become antiferromagnetic materials when combined as multilayer alloys. Intermediate composition of these alloy depositions are possible requiring good knowledge of electrochemistry of metallurgy, thermodynamic and kinetic reactions. |
