Analysis of Electrodeposited Nickel-Iron Alloy Film Composition Using Particle-Induced X-Ray Emission

Figure 3

The iron content (percent by weight, Fe/(Ni + Fe) × 100%,) for five locations on one electrodeposited sample determined by PIXE. The NiFe thin film was deposited from a 100 mM NiSO₄, 10 mM FeSO₄, 0.5 M H₃BO₃, and 1 M Na₂SO₄ solution at −1000 mV for 6 min. A sketch of the different locations on the sample is included in the inset. The unweighted average of the results is indicated by the solid line while the dashed lines represent the average plus and minus the standard deviation.
