Abstract

Electrochemical deposition of artificial compositionally modulated superlattices is described. It is shown that the quality of these alloys is comparable or superior to materials produced by vapor deposition or sputtering. The ambient temperature process described by Yahalom has been modified to include a feedback and control system in order to compensate for natural convective disturbances in the electrolyte. Data is presented for copper-nickel samples of varying wavelengths down to 2 nm which suggests that magnetic properties of thin nickel layers are comparable with bulk nickel. Alloys of other types whose properties can be tailored on a near atomic scale will also be discussed along with potential applications.
