Magnetic properties of electrodeposited nickel-MWCNT nanocomposite films

Abstract

Ni-MWCNT nanocomposite films are prepared in this study by electrodeposition. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy are used to determine the microstructure and composition of the nanocomposite films. Magnetic hysteresis loops and magnetization curves are recorded in different configurations to clarify behaviors of magnetic anisotropy, coercivity, magnetization reversal, and domain wall motion.
