ABSTRACT

The problem concerning the mathematical description of the formation of deposit layer by means of nucleation/growth/overlapping mechanism of newFphase 3D clusters and their diffusion zones was considered. The characteristics of potentiostatic current transients were analyzed. Expressions for calculating the nucleation parameters and the diffusion coefficient of the deposited ions were obtained.

KEYWORDS: electrocrystallization, chronoamperometry, nucleation, growth, overlap, diffusion.
