Abstract
We applied the electrochemical atomic layer epitaxy (ECALE) methodology to obtain deposits of CdS and ZnS on Ag(111) by alternate underpotential depos ition of the elements forming the compounds. The amounts of the elements de posited, determined by stripping coulometry, always yielded a stoichiometri c 1:1 ratio. The deposits were formed using an automated electrochemical de position system, described here, making use of a simple distribution valve. (C) 2001 The Electrochemical Society.
