Abstract
We prepared Ni films, about 50 nm thick, by dc magnetron sputtering. F ilms deposited at room temperature have saturation magnetizations, M(s ), significantly reduced below the value of bulk Ni. M(s) and the coer civity vary with the substrate temperature. This is interpreted as due to changes in the microstructure of the films.
