Photo-assisted one-step electrodeposition has been applied to help in forming smooth and dense CuInSe2 films. The difference in surface morphology and crystalline quality between CuInSe2 films with various photo-assistance has been investigated. In the photo-assisted electrodeposition process, the many kinds of lamps providing maximum light intensity at about 380 to 620 nm were used as light so...

An atomistic model for Cu electrodeposition under nonequilibrium conditions is presented. Cu electrodeposition takes place with a height-dependent deposition rate that accounts for fluctuations in the local Cu2+ ions concentration at the interface, followed by surface diffusion. This model leads to an unstable interface with the development of protrusions and grooves. Subsequently the model is ...

Recent studies have shown that it is possible to electrodeposit a range of materials, such as Cu, Ag and Ge, from various supercritical fluids, including hydrofluorocarbons and mixtures of CO2 with suitable co-solvents. In this perspective we discuss the relatively new field of electrodeposition from supercritical fluids. The perspective focuses on some of the underlying physical chemistry and ...

The effect of microstructure on the efficiency shielding or shunting magnetic flux by permalloy shields was investigated in present work. For this purpose, FeNi coatings with different grain structures were obtained using stationary and pulsed electrodeposition. coatings’ composition, crystal structure, surface microstructure, domain studied. It has been shown that 0.2–0.6 µm grains have a diso...

In the present study, a nanocrystalline Ni-Fe matrix with reinforced TiO2 nanoparticles as functional nanocomposite material was fabricated by pulsed current electroforming in UV-LIGA (lithography, electroplating, and molding). The influences of on deposition were also investigated using scanning electron microscopy, transmission vitro cytotoxicity assay. It found that 5 wt.% showed smooth surf...

Collagen is expected to work as a bonding agent of soft and hard tissues to solid materials. In this study, the electrodeposition of collagen to a titanium (Ti) surface under various conditions, i.e., the pH of the collagen solution, potential, and electrodeposition time, was performed to understand the optimal electrodeposition conditions for the immobilization of collagen to Ti. The effects o...

n-Si/Cd and n-Si/Pb Schottky junctions have been prepared by electrodeposition of Cd or Pb from acidic aqueous solutions onto H-terminated and CH3-terminated n-type Si 111 surfaces. For both nondegenerately nand degenerately n+doped H–Si 111 electrodes, Cd and Pb were readily electroplated and oxidatively stripped, consistent with a small barrier height b at the Si/solution and the Si/metal jun...

Fe49Co33Ni18 nanowire arrays (175 nm in diameter and lengths ranging from 5 to 32μm) were fabricated into nanopores of hard-anodized aluminum oxide templates using pulsed ac electrodeposition technique. Hysteresis loop measurements indicated that increasing the length decreases coercivity and squareness values (from 274 Oe and 0.58 to200 Oe and 0.105, respective...
