| Abstract: | In this article, characterization of FeNi layers deposited on a Cu plate for variable magnetic field arrangement is shown. Layers were prepared using a simple electrodeposition process, from an aqueous solution of Fe2+ and Ni2+ sulfate salts containing boric acid, an iron activator. By application of variation of current values, times, and external magnetic field orientations, the resultant film quality was examined and the efficiency of the embedded elements was investigated. The studies show differences in the coating morphology and relative composition of ferromagnetic metals (Ni, Fe) electrodeposited on a not ferromagnetic (paramagnetic) metal (Cu). The obtained layers were investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy. |
