Abstract
The preparation of Ni-Co powder for magnetoresistive sensors was studi ed. A submicron Ni-Co powder was obtained in good yield by reduction o f freshly prepared Ni(II) and Co(II) hydroxides in ethylene glycol. Th e product was a chemically homogeneous powder alloy with a fcc lattice and a Ni/Co atomic ratio of 70/30. The morphology and the composition of the solid solution are the most suitable for the preparation of th ick films for physical sensors.
