Films of Co‐P, varying in composition from 2.5% to 5% P and varying in thickness from 200 to 2500 A, were prepared by chemical deposition. The coercivity of these films was found to be a function of both P content and thickness. The particle size of these films increased with increasing thickness and was a function of the P content. The films were annealed in a reducing atmosphere at various temperatures up to 500°C. The low‐coercivity films undergo a transformation to films exhibiting coercivities of ∼250 Oe at a temperature of 250°C. The intermediate‐coercivity films remain essentially unchanged, whereas the high‐coercivity films drop sharply in coercivity at ∼400°C to this apparent ``equilibrium coercivity'' of ∼250 Oe. Etching experiments on these samples show no drastic effects on coercivity. The coercivity merely proceeds back along the original coercivity‐versus‐thickness curves. Structural and magnetic evidence indicates the existence of an equilibrium magnetic structure in these films which is pr...
