Granular CoxCu1−xalloy films and nanowires were prepared by pulsed-electrodeposition. The alloy composition was changed by controlling pulse-width of the current pulse with fixed off-time of the deposition. Alloy films were formed onto evaporated Cu films grown on glass plates. The face-centered cubic lattice parameter was found to decrease with increasing Co content in the films in the composition range investigated (0.17≤x≤0.66), and the second phase, probably by hexagonal close-packed phase, appeared at x≥0.42. The crystallite size of the as-deposited condition calculated using the XRD data and the Scherrer’s formula ranged between 10–30 nm. The magnetoresistance (MR) was found to become larger after annealing at an appropriate temperature between 400–600°C. The maximum value of the MR ratio of about 4% was observed at the composition around x=0.2. Magnetic hysteresis curves were measured for Co0.31Cu0.69and compared with those reported for sputtered alloy films. Granular nanowires prepared into the pores of the alumite plate were also examined and reported briefly.
