Abstract

The effect of magnetic fields on the morphology of an initially electrodeposited nickel surface was investigated by photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS). Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) was also used to support the PAS data. Grain structure was found to be finer, and the surface smoother under magnetic fields.
This tendency is attributed to the electromagnetic force (Lorent's force) exerted on the nickel ions, and to the fact that nickel is ferromagnetic substance.
