Abstract: | Magnetic properties of metal layer deposited by reduction of polymer containing metal ions were investigated. Varying the ratio of the cobalt ion to the nickel ion in the polymer, the coercivity, the maximum flux density and the remanent flux density of the deposited metal layer were changed from 100 to 600 Oe, from 1 000 to 12 600 G and from 500 to 7 600 G, respectively. The X-ray diffraction pattern of the metal layer with excellent magnetic properties gives distinct peaks corresponding to the (101) and (100) planes of the crystal of α-Co. This suggests that such a deposited metal layer has the structure of highly crystalline metal layer. |
