Abstract

Electrodeposition is a fast and relatively inexpensive method for making metal multi-layered films. We present a dual bath electrodeposition technique capable of producing crystalline Ni/amorphous NiPx multilayers with repeat lengths of 20Å and above, of sufficient quality to give several low-angle x-ray reflections. The compositional and structural modulations of the films are analysed using x-ray diffraction and microscopy, and the effects of deposition parameters, such as the current density, are examined.
