Ferrite plating facilitates formation of polycrystalline spinel ferrite films (Feax M x 04, M=Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, etc.) at low temperature in an aqueous solution. Though prepared at low temperature «90 t), the.magneti? properties of the films. are .as good as those in bulk samples, the ferrite platIng openIng the door.to new f~rr~te fIlm devices using a non-heat-resistant substrate. In this paper ~e descrIb~ the prIncI~le and methods of ferrite plating and report structural and magnetIc propertIes of the fIlms as well as the deposition rat~ of the films in connection with the conditions under which the ferrite plating is performed.
