We report on an experimental study on electrodeposited nanocrystalline nickel films. Scanning electron and atomic force microscopies reveal granular structure of the films with varying grain size and surface roughness in dependence on deposition conditions. In term of magnetic properties all the fabricated films are isotropic. We define magnetization reversal occurring through the non-coherent magnetization rotation where the average grain size is comparable to the width of Bloch domain walls (DW). For those film with a greater grain size, the remagnetization processes take place due to the non-coherent magnetization vectors rotation and DW displacement in the grains.
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.
