摘要: Spinel ferrites are of interest because of their potential applications in spintronics (spin-based electronics) and solid-state memories. Cobalt ferrite (CoFe₂O₄) is an inverse spinel ferrite. Currently, the utility of CoFe₂O₄ is mainly based on its high coercivity and magnetocrystalline anisotropy. The magnetic and electrical properties of CoFe₂O₄ depend on its Co: Fe ratio. In this paper, a one-step electrodeposition of CoₓFe₃₋ ₓO₄ (0< x< 1) thin films from an alkaline Fe³⁺-and Co²⁺-triethanolamine solution is presented …
