Magneto‐electrochemistry (MEC) experiments were carried out in the electrodeposition of a ferromagnetic Heusler alloy. The electrodeposition was carried out in the absence (as a reference) and in the presence of a magnetic field that was applied perpendicularly to the electrode– solution interface. The obtained metallic deposit was characterized by SEM‐EDS, XRF, and XRD techniques. The ferromagnetic properties are assessed on the basis of SQUID measurements. The experimental results indicate that the influence of the presence of the magnetic field induces differences in the electrochemical measurements and a macroscopic handedness (chirality) in the deposit, which is a function of magnet orientation.

Abstract

Magneto‐electrochemistry (MEC) experiments were carried out in the electrodeposition of a ferromagnetic Heusler alloy. The electrodeposition was carried out in the absence (as a reference) and in the presence of a magnetic field that was applied perpendicularly to the electrode– solution interface. The obtained metallic deposit was characterized by SEM‐EDS, XRF, and XRD techniques. The ferromagnetic properties are assessed on the basis of SQUID measurements. The experimental results indicate that the influence of the presence of the magnetic field induces differences in the electrochemical measurements and a macroscopic handedness (chirality) in the deposit, which is a function of magnet orientation. Eventually, the coercivity of the Heusler alloy that was obtained in the presence of the magnetic field was larger compared to that of the deposit that was obtained without a magnetic field.
