An investigation of the Co oxides formation and distribution dependent on preparation conditions during electrodeposition of hcp Co‐based films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy has been made. It has been shown that the [100] oriented columnar crystallites promote some regularity in impurity distribution and orientation in the film plane, whereas the [001] oriented ones‐ non‐regular distribution. Such a behaviour is associated with the difference in the impurity incorporation for these two cases: preferably crystalline and intergranular, respectively, and atomic bonds saturation, and influence on the mechanical and magnetic properties of the investigated films.
