Effect of bath composition ([Co2+]/[PtⅣ] and [WO2-4], [cit-]) and pH on the magnetic properties of electrodeposited CoPtW thin films has been investigated. Electrodeposited CoPtW thin films exhibited strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy when the ratio of [Co2+] to [PtⅣ] was 10; cathode current efficiency and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy showed little variations when [WO2-4] was lower than 01 mol/L, but perpendicular magnetic anisotropy had strengthened when [WO2-4] was over 01 mol/L, which could be explained by the fact that the hydrogen evolution could produce pores as magnetic domain pinnings; citrate as complexing reagent can promote the polarization of [Co2+] and [PtⅣ]. As a result, the equilibrium electrode potentials of cobalt and platinum moved to negative direction, which led to the codeposition of Co, Pt, and W. It was also found out that the asdeposited CoPtW hard magnetic thin films were very homogeneous, smooth, and had the maximum coercivity for the bath pH 85 and the concentration of citrate 026 mol/L.
