• /monolayer contact electrodes. Work toward the realization of such circuits and their electrical–structural characterization is currently in progress. As far as basic electrochemical aspects are concerned, it is of interest to note that the present findings offer direct experimental support to the recent

• lower than for CoPt in the L10 phase. The Co volume fraction in our specimens typically amounts to few parts per thousand or less. Therefore, a thorough structural characterization of the alloy formation with standard laboratory equipment is not practical. Instead, we probe the magnetic signatures of
