Abstract

CoWP thin films have electrodeposited in the presence of urea as additive and sodium hypo phosphate as a precursor with a fixed concentration has studied respectively to thickness of the films. It was electrodeposited in various current densities and for different time in order to get uniform deposits. Vibrating sample magnetometer studies indicate that the additive has favorable impact on the magnetic properties of these films. Elemental composition of the films was obtained by using EDAX. Structural and surface morphology analysis was carried out using XRD and SEM respectively. Difference in magnetic properties and structural characteristics are discussed. Hardness and adhesion of the film were also studied..
