The ammonia generally used as a buffer in alkaline electroless nickel and cobalt plating baths has been shown to have a significant effect on both the rate of deposition of thin metal films and the magnetic and physical properties of such films. These effects have been studied on both metallic and nonmetallic substrates, using both ammonia and nonammine buffer systems, and attempts have been made to correlate them with spectral and polarographic observations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
