Structural, magnetic and transport properties of CoZn/Cu electrodeposited multilayers

Abstract We present experimental results of (Co9.7Zn90.3/Cu)20 multilayers grown from electrochemical dual bath. X-ray diffraction patterns have shown that the CoZn structural lattice parameters are close to those of the monoclinic CoZn13 compound. The magnetic properties at room temperature reveal both superparamagnetic and ferromagnetic features. The magnetoresistance behaviour exhibits a broad, rounded maximum around H=0 and does not present any saturation.
