Based on the results obtained from cyclic voltammetry curves, a potential region between -1.8 V and -2.3 V vs. saturated calomel electrode (SCE) was selected. During growth, the electro-chemical characterizations of the films were made by recording the current-time transients. The structure of films becomes more brittle with the increase of the deposition potential over -2.3 V vs. SCE due to extreme hydrogen liberation from cathode surface. The structural analysis by the X-ray diffraction demonstrated that the films have a typical body centered cubic of alpha-Fe preferentially grown in the (211) direction. The grain sizes, lattice parameters and interplanar spacings were also calculated. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy measurements demonstrated that the ratio of Fe:Cu was almost the same. The magnetic analysis by vibrating sample magnetometer indicated that the coercivity of the films was slightly affected by the deposition potential.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessThin-filmsNickel-ironElectrodepositionParametersAlloysCyclic voltammetryElectrochemical propertiesImplants (surgical)Iron alloysMagnetic propertiesStructural analysisTitaniumTitanium alloysX ray diffraction analysisX ray spectroscopyBody-centered cubicCathode surfaceCoercivitiesCu filmsCurrent-time transientDeposition potentialElectrochemical characterizationsEnergy dispersive X ray spectroscopyFe-Cu alloysGrain sizeInterplanar spacingsLattice parametersMagnetic analysisMicro-structuralPolycrystalline titaniumPotential regionSaturated calomel electrodeStructure of filmsVibrating sample magnetometerCopperPhysicsArticle0002719872000112-s2.0-73149096693483Physics, appliedElectroplating; Cobalt Alloys; Magnetic Properties
