AFM studies of metal deposition: instantaneous nucleation and the growth of cobalt nanoparticles on boron-doped diamond electrodes.

In situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) is used to study the growth of cobalt nuclei on a boron doped diamond electrode under potentiostatic control. The rate of growth of the nuclei at the electrode surface is monitored using AFM as a function of time at different deposition potentials. The nucleatio...
