摘要
An automated PC-controlled electrochemical setup for deposition of a specified number of different metal nanodimensional layers onto conducting substrates is described. Metallic layers are deposited in galvanic cells from solutions of corresponding electrolytes on a sample that serves as a cathode, while the anode is a plate of an inert material or a material dissolved during electrolysis. The electroplating is conducted by passing rectangular current pulses through the electrolyte solution between the sample and the anode. The amplitude (1 mA-1 A) and duration (1 ms-1 s) of the current pulses are set by a program. Samples are treated in the galvanic cells and rinsing baths according to a programmed route. In combination with efficient electrolytes for electrodeposition, the setup enables one to obtain multilayer structures of specified configuration with alternation of nanometer layers of different metals: normal metals, ferromagnets, para-magnetics, antiferromagnets, or superconductors. The characteristics of a normal metal (copper)-ferromagnet (palladium-nickel alloy) multilayer coating are presented.
