Abstract

Cobalt and Co‐Ni alloy were electrodeposited into the micropores of various kinds of anodic oxide films on aluminum. Fine granular metals precipitated on the barrier layer and formed columnar structures. Although the films of cobalt or nickel showed remarkable magnetic anisotropies perpendicular to the surface, the alloy films which consisted of approximately 50% cobalt showed a strong anisotropy along the horizontal direction. Coercive forces ranged from about 500 to about 1100 oe and the density of residual magnetization rose above 1000 gauss. The films may have applications in magnetic memories and recording devices.
