An electrochemical deposition process, which is a combination of electrodeposition of CoFe 2 alloy from an ethylene glycol bath followed by its anodization at ambient temperature, is used to deposit CoFe 2 O 4 thin films on different conducting substrates. Various deposition conditions are studied and optimized. The films have spinel CoFe 2 O 4 structure with crystallite size less than 50 nm. The films are adherent and covered the substrates well. The films are annealed in air at 500 °C for 1 h and the observed properties are reported. After annealing the films have smooth and compact surfaces with improved magnetic properties.
