Determination of Crystal Growth Geometry Factors and Nucleation Site Densities of Electrodeposited Ferromagnetic Cobalt Nanowire Arrays

Abstract: The time-dependence of electrochemical reduction current, which was observed during the one-dimensional (1-D) crystal growth of ferromagnetic cobalt nanowire arrays, was analyzed by Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) theory. Textured hcp-Co nanowire arrays were synthesized by potentio-static electrochemical reduction of Co 2+ ions in anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) nanochannel films. Crystal growth geometry factor n in the JMAK equation was determined to be ca. 1. Hence, the electrochemical crystal growth pro… Show more

“…To analyze the Avrami coefficient value and the crystal nucleation frequency during cycling, we conducted Johnson−Mehl− Avrami−Kolmogorov (JMAK) analysis. 47,48 The current− time (i−t) curves (absolute current values) were extracted every 500 cycles for a total of 5000 cycles (Figure 3A,B).…”

“…As shown in Figure 2b, the cathode potential shifts to a less noble direction with an increase in the current density over the range from 0.5 to 5 mA/cm 2 . It is well-known that the electrodeposited metals nucleation site density increases with an increase in the electrodeposition overpotential, which corresponds to the difference between the cathode potential and the equilibrium potential of metal, during the charge transfer process which is controlling the reduction rate of metallic ions [25]. Hence, the decrease in the average crystal grain size seems to be caused by the increase in the nucleation site density.…”
