Nano structured Ni-Mn alloy thin films were electrodeposited on a copper substrate. The structural and surface properties of Ni-Mn thin film were studied by using X-ray Diffractometer (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Elemental compositions of the film were measured by means of Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDAX). Magnetic properties of the thin film were studied with the aid of Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). Hardness and roughness of the films were measured by using Vickers Hardness Number (VHN) and surface roughness tester respectively. Micro hardness testing was carried out to determine the relation between this mechanical property with crystallite size. The deposits of Ni-Mn thin films were found to be shiny, smooth, nanocrystalline and good adherence to the substrate. The deposits were found to have face centered cubic (FCC) structure..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
