Claim 13:
14. A method of electrodepositing a deposited structure onto a substrate surface, the method comprising:
immersing the substrate in an electrolyte solution comprising one or more diffusion-controlled species and one or more non-diffusion-controlled species,
applying current to the substrate immersed in the electrolyte to cause the diffusion-controlled species and the non-diffusion-controlled species to form a deposited material on the substrate surface as the deposited structure having a concentration of the diffusion-controlled species that is affected by a dimension or shape of the structure,
wherein:
the deposited structure is a component of a magnetic transducer;
the non-diffusion-controlled species comprise two or more of nickel, cobalt, and iron, and
the diffusion-controlled species is selected from: Re, Ir, Os, Pt, W, Ta, Rh, Au, Ag, Pd, Ru, P, and O.
