Abstract
The initial stages of copper electrodeposition on polycrystalline silv er were studied by the methods of potentiostatic transients of current , cyclic voltammetry, and electron microscopy. It was shown that the d iffusion model of hemispherical nuclei growth can be applied to estima te relative changes in the formation rate and the number of copper nuc lei. At potentials more positive than the equilibrium potential, an ef fect of depositing copper adatoms on silver was detected.
