Abstract:This study investigates the structure, morphological, and roughness properties of electrodeposited nickel thin films grown on different substrates, that is, silicon, copper, and gold. X‐ray diffraction analysis reveals that the Ni coatings exhibit a face‐centered‐cubic phase, regardless of the substrate used, although the texture is mainly influenced by the substrate. Atomic force microscopy images show that larger grains are obtained with gold substrates, while smaller ones are observed with copper and silico… Show more
