Electrodeposited amorphous Co-P alloys with variable magnetic anisotropy

A method is indicated for obtaining electrodeposited amorphous Co-P alloys with differing anisotropies, employing an alternating current density of very low frequency. The method allows samples of a high degree of permeability to be obtained with the result that, in the case of a current density at 5 Hz with amplitude between +0.6 and -0.2 A/cm
²
, the magnetic properties are similar to those found by Dietz and coworkers, in samples deposited on rotating cylindrical substrates. In the case of samples without perpendicular anisotropy, there can be observed a distribution of the magnetization in the plane, with 180° domains.
