K. Suvegh et al., APPLICATION OF POSITRON LIFETIME SPECTROSCOPY TO THE STUDY OF ELECTRODEPOSITED CHROMIUM LAYERS, Journal of electroanalytical chemistry [1992], 455(1-2), 1998, pp. 69-73
Positron lifetime spectroscopy was applied to study the structure of e
lectrodeposited chromium layers. The electrochemical conditions for el
ectroplating were varied in wide ranges. It is shown that positron lif
etime spectroscopy is able to provide valuable information on the defe
ct structure of electroplated materials: the concentrations of vacanci
es and vacancy clusters correlated with the applied electrochemical co
nditions. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
