Hi, I have a sample of e-beam deposited cobalt that I dipped in 1:1 HCl:H2O at room temperature. The cobalt did not etch. Cobalt is supposedly easily etched with most acids, so I am confused why my cobalt did not etch. Is there someone with experience exposing cobalt to HCl? If so, what were your results?
