For this purpose, the effective fourth element was not sufficiently known, but Fe-Co containing a small amount of Mo element was added.
The four elements -Ni-Mo are effective in reducing the absolute value of λS, and as in the past, by alloy electrodeposition method,
It was found that it was possible to form a film (quaternary alloy electrodeposition). At this time, the electrodeposition bath not only supplies Mo element with molybdate, but also coexists with citric acid.
It is also possible to form a thin film by alloying it. For example, it is sufficient to set the electrodeposition conditions (PH value, bath temperature, electrodeposition current density (1), additives, etc.) in the same manner as in the Fe-Co-Nt three-element alloy electrodeposition method. Quaternary alloying including MO for the Fe-Co-Ni system is possible using the above method, at least to an extent of less than 10 at%, but a large amount of MoL7

It has been confirmed that adding up to 6 at% Moi to the three elements of CoNi in the composition range of Fe45+15 20+14 35±10 is effective in reducing the λB value, but the method for producing a four-element alloy electrodeposited film containing this MO is As shown in the same table, molybdate (Na2M
The addition of oO4-2H20) to the electrodeposition bath was found to be effective. It can be seen that the addition of molybdate to a bath without citric acid does not result in a quaternary alloying of the thin film, as in example f3 in the table. In addition, for the Fs-Co-Ni three-element alloy electrodeposition basic bath shown in Table 1,
By changing the amount of molybdate added in Na2MoO4-2H20, the F of the resulting electrodeposited film can be changed as shown in Figure 1.
It is also possible to control the composition ratio of the elements e, Co, Ni, and Mo. Layer current density (1) is Fe-
