Studying the transition from multilayer to alloy in the Ni–Cu system

We have studied the transition from electrodeposited multilayer to alloy in the Ni–Cu system, by decreasing the thickness of Ni and Cu per cycle from several nm to a fraction of a monolayer. The magnetic moment per Ni atom for very small Ni thickness is constant, suggesting a preferred Ni cluster si...

Summary:We have studied the transition from electrodeposited multilayer to alloy in the Ni–Cu system, by decreasing the thickness of Ni and Cu per cycle from several nm to a fraction of a monolayer. The magnetic moment per Ni atom for very small Ni thickness is constant, suggesting a preferred Ni cluster size in these alloy films deposited far from equilibrium.
