Abstract
Ni x Fe1−x (0.22 ≤x ≤ 0.62) alloy films were grown by electrodeposition technique. A shift in diffraction peaks of NiFe and Ni3Fe was detected with increasing Ni content. The highest positive magnetoresistance ratio was detected as 5% in Ni0.51Fe0.49. Positive and negative anisotropic magnetoresistance were observed in longitudinal and transverse geometries respectively. The highest anisotropic magnetoresistance ratio of 9.8% was also detected in Ni0.51Fe0.49. The angular variation of magnetoresistance was studied. Magnetisation loop curves show that NiFe alloy films have a linear decreasing anisotropy constant with increasing Ni deposit content and show a decreasing behavior of coercivity which indicates soft magnetic property with increasing Ni deposit content
