Effect of deposition potential and copper concentration on the phase transformation mechanism and structural distribution during electrodeposition of Ni-Cu magnetic alloy thin films

Abstract

Ni-Cu alloy thin films were electroplated onto graphite substrates in three electrode setup at varying applied overpotentials of

Review—Electrochemical Phase Formation via a Supercooled Liquid State Stage: Metastable Structures and Intermediate Phases

“…Despite the hypothetical nature of the above concepts put forward more than half a century ago without sufficient experimental verification, they are now accepted as an indisputable scientific fact. In addition, those concepts have received theoretical development both in modern monographs, [21][22][23][24][25] and in recent publications [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] on the electrochemical phase formation in metals and alloys.…”
