The effect of cobalt addition on structural and magnetic properties of electrodeposited iron-platinum nanocrystalline thin films

Iron-Platinum (Fe-Pt) and Cobalt-Iron-Platinum (Co-Fe-Pt) nanocrystalline thin films were deposited on brass substrates using a single bath electrodeposition system. The effects of addition of various concentrations of cobalt towards the composition, crystallographic structure, microstructure and ma...
