Abstract :
In this work we grow and characterize the GMR properties of FeCoNi/Cu multilayers, with the FeCoNi composition optimized to yield low coercivity and high sensitivity. Electrochemical characteristics of the electrolytes were studied and parameter optimization was performed using potentiodynamic polarization, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry.
