Nucleation and growth of metal nanocrystals during electrocrystallization in melts

Аннотация

The initial stages of electrocrystallization in melts are considered. The nucleation and growth rates of metal nanocrystals during electrodeposition are calculated. The diffusion coefficients in the size space in the Fokker–Planck equation, which describes phase formation, are found. The method of calculating the number of nanoclusters formed on an electrode has been proposed. The concentration dependence of the phase formation under potentiostatic and galvanostatic electrodeposition conditions in melts is considered.
