Mike Hyde(PTCL)June 2002:
In-situ TappingMode AFM was used to study the electrodeposition of metals on to electrode surfaces. In particular the aim was to examine the rates of appearance and growth of individual metal nuclei, and compare the parameters obtained with those derived from traditional current transient analysis. In practice, the growth rates of individual nuclei were observed, and were found to be in good agreement with the predictions of theoretical models for the process.
