The Electrical-Properties and Quality Factor of Nickel Electrodeposits
The quality factor Q, of the nickel electrodeposits prepared under different conditions (bath pH, current density, etc.), was measured by a Q-meter and the in-series method was utilized. The inductance (L) and ohmic resistance (R) were obtained through the resonance frequency (F) by use of appropriate equations. The measurements can be shown on C, L, R and Q against F plots. The above electrical properties of nickel electrodeposits are affected by the electrodeposition conditions and slightly by the deposits’ thickness.
