This study combines a fast and cost-effective dealloying process with a fast, low-cost, scalable electroless deposition technique to realize hybrid magnetic heterostructures. The gold nanoporous surface obtained by dealloying is used as a nanostructured substrate for the electrodeposition of cobalt, resulting in a patterned thin film with different magnetic properties. The structural and morphological features are correlated with the magnetic properties.
The connection of multidisciplinary and versatile techniques capable of depositing and modeling thin films in multistep complex fabrication processes offers different perspectives and additional degrees of freedom in the realization of patterned magnetic materials whose peculiar physical properties meet the specific needs of several applications. In this work, a fast and cost-effective dealloying process is combined with a fast, low-cost, scalable electroless deposition technique to realize hybrid magnetic heterostructures. The gold nanoporous surface obtained by the dealloying of an Au40Si20Cu28Ag7Pd5 ribbon is used as a nanostructured substrate for the electrodeposition of cobalt. In the first steps of the deposition, the Co atoms fill the gold pores and arrange themselves into a patterned thin film with harder magnetic properties; then they continue their growth into an upper layer with softer magnetic properties. The structural characterization of the hybrid magnetic heterostructures is performed using an X-ray diffraction technique and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, while the morphology of the samples as a function of the electrodeposition time is characterized by images taken in top and cross-section view using scanning electron microscopy. Then, the structural and morphologic features are correlated with the room-temperature magnetic properties deduced from an alternating-gradient magnetometer's measurements of the hysteresis loop and first order reversal curves.
