An investigation of the Co oxides formation and distribution dependent on preparation conditions during electrodeposition of hcp Co-based films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy has been made.It has been shown that the.[ 1001 oriented columnar crystallites promote some regularity in impurity distribution and orientation in the film plane, whereas the [OOl] oriented onesnon-regular distribution. Such a behaviour is associated with the difference in the impurity incorporation for these two cases: preferably crystalline and intergranular, respectively, and atomic bonds saturation, and influence on the mechanical and magnetic properties of the investigated films.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
