Nano-scale crystal formation in copper magneto-electrodeposition under parallel magnetic fields was examined with X-ray diffraction. In 30 mol m−3 copper sulfate solution, below the overpotential −0.2 V, the average crystal size decreased with magnetic field, whereas beyond −0.2 V, the average crystal size increased in the higher range. The atomic force microscope images of the deposits also showed the same tendency.
