Abstract

AgxNi1−x (x=0.0–1.0) films were grown on Cu substrates by electrodeposition method. The films were found to be a nanocrystalline mixture of pure silver and nickel. The grain sizes were determined by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy techniques. The minimal value was 3.3 nm for the alloy with 70 wt% Ni concentration. The stability of the grown films upon heating in air and in vacuum was examined. An increase in the grain size was found to begin at 150 °C.
