Abstract

Pt1-xNix (x = 0.25 to 0.92) thin films were examined for possible application as temperature sensing magnetic reporters. The alloys were prepared by charge-limited potentiostatic electrodeposition from aqueous chloride-based solutions in the presence and absence of 0.5 mol/dm3 B(OH)3. Alloy composition was controlled by the deposition potential with the Ni concentration increasing toward more reducing potentials. Films with x>0.45 were ferromagnetic with the magnetization at 300 K increasing with nickel content. Magnetization vs temperature (M vs T) at 8 kA/m (100 Oe) showed an increase in the Curie temperature from less than 200 K to above 400 K for the alloys investigated. For films deposited at potentials >-0.6 V vs SCE, boric acid had negligible effect on the magnetizations at the maximum applied field in M vs H measurements. In contrast, for depositions at more reducing potentials <-0.6 V vs SCE the presence of boric acid resulted in diminished magnetization. This was attributed elevated incorporation of oxygen up to 4 at%, along with boron incorporation of about 400 ppm.
