โฆ Synopsis
Amorphous Ni-P-plated aluminium disks for magnetic data storage have been analysed by glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GDOES) depth profiling. The distribution of impurities, related to the fabrication processes, have been disclosed within the Ni-P layers and at the Ni-P/aluminium interface. Examination of sputter craters by AFM and surface roughness measurements indicate that the sputtering of the amorphous Ni-P layer proceeds without significant microscopic roughening.

Analysis of a surface film ~4 nm thick formed on electropolished, high-purity aluminium given a postelectropolishing treatment in a hot CrO 3 -H 3 PO 4 solution demonstrates the suitability of glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy for in-depth analysis of very thin films. Thus, the distributi
