摘要
CoxRe100-x thin-film alloys with x in the range 4-100 have been prepared by the technique of electrodeposition. Deposition conditions were selected in such a manner as to attempt to produce inhomogeneous alloys from two totally miscible elements. X-ray and TEM investigations have revealed that the alloys, which were partially crystalline with an HCP structure, also contained an amorphous phase. SQUID magnetometry has been performed on the samples in the temperature range 2-300 K and in fields of up to 5 T. A magnetic behaviour has been observed which, at low Co concentrations, is compatible with superparamagnetism in the crystalline phase, whereas for higher Co concentrations, the alloys are ferromagnetic.
