Abstract

This work is a comparative study of two magnetic materials: Co-rich nanocrystaline films and amorphous films of the same compositions, obtained by electroplating at different current density. The (Co1-xFex)y(MP)1-y amorphous alloys, formed by electroplating at 200 mA/cm2, are investigated. At the composition Co86Fe4P10, the amophous layer is zeromagnetostrictive and show high saturation magnetic induction and high permeability. These properties are suitable for the inductive thin film heads useful in high density magnetic recording. The electrodeposited Co-rich alloys formed at 20-30 mA/cm2 are nanocrystalline and have the same magnetic behaviour and a good stability. The aim of this work is a structural modulation of Co-rich films.
