Effects of Adsorbate Diffusion and Edges in a Transition from Particle to Dendritic Morphology during Silver Electrodeposition

Abstract: During silver electrodeposition on Au nanoparticle (NP)-covered highly oriented pyrolitic graphite, a transition from an initial growth of microsized particles to the growth of dendrites with pine tree shape (nanotrees) is observed, which is an advancement for material growth with hierarchical surface roughness. Using kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of an electrodeposition model, those results are explained by the interplay of diffusive cation flux in the electrolyte and relaxation of adsorbed atoms by diffusi… Show more

“…Previous studies of this model with G s = G f show that the lateral sizes of correlated structures (including dendrite sizes) scale approximately as G f 0.4 . , Thus, we expect that the Fe grain sizes would be produced only in simulations with G f ∼ 10 6 (and with an appropriate lattice structure). Extending the interpretation of ref , this value of G f corresponds to a diffusion length ∼300 nm for an adatom on a terrace of the film surface.…”

“…These features reveal an unstable roughening at the longest times. Due to the preferential cation reduction at the most protuberant points of the deposit, the instability develops when the surface fluctuations become large enough that the surface relaxation is unable to redistribute the deposited mass uniformly. , The correlation length in the unstable regime slowly increases (Figure b). These features at longer times are in qualitative agreement with the experiments.…”
