“…2 The application of a magnetic field during deposition of these ferromagnetic metals or alloys may introduce crystallographic or atomic-scale texture, which can influence the anisotropy and magnetic reversal in the electrodeposited material. [3][4][5] More recently, there have been reports of structuring of electrodeposits from paramagnetic solutions such as Cu 2þ using nonuniform magnetic fields produced by permanent magnets, 6,7 or soft iron, which is magnetized in an external field. 8,9 These studies establish that it is the magnetic susceptibility of the electroactive species, not the susceptibility of the electrolyte itself, which determines the pattern.…”
