Abstract

Nano crystalline Ni-Fe-W-S alloy thin films were deposited by electro deposition method on copper subs magnetic properties of the electro deposited Ni-Fe-W-S thin films were studied. The chemical composition of the film was carried out by using Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX). The structural and morphology of the films were detected by using X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) respectively. The magnetic properties of the electro deposited Ni-Fe-W-S thin films were studied by using Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The deposits of Ni-Fe-W-S thin films were found to be smooth, nano crystalline, adherence to the substrate. All the electro deposited films exhibit primitive FCC crystal - - - × 10-3 emu, 338.66 G and 89.33 × 10-3 emu, 332.80 G). Electro deposited Ni-Fe-W-S thin films exhibit good soft magnetic properties and are suitable for various electronic devices including high density recording media, magnetic actuators, magnetic shielding, and high performance transformer cores..
