Multilayer films composed of CoxP1-x ferromagnetic layers with different co
mposition (0.74 < x < 0.86) have been obtained by varying the electrolytic
current during the deposition process. These samples exhibit planar anisotr
opy, high permeability and a very low coercive force (similar to 5 A/m). Th
e magnetic properties of these samples have been compared with the properti
es of CoxP1-x multilayers consisting of magnetic and non-magnetic (x < 0.7)
layers. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
