Fundamentals of Electrochemical Deposition

Excellent teaching and resource material . . . it is concise,
coherently structured, and easy to read . . . highly recommended
for students, engineers, and researchers in all related
fields."

-Corrosion on the First Edition of Fundamentals of Electrochemical
Deposition

From computer hardware to automobiles, medical diagnostics to
aerospace, electrochemical deposition plays a crucial role in an
array of key industries. Fundamentals of Electrochemical
Deposition, Second Edition is a comprehensive introduction to one
of today's most exciting and rapidly evolving fields of practical
knowledge.

The most authoritative introduction to the field so far, the book
presents detailed coverage of the full range of electrochemical
deposition processes and technologies, including:

• Metal-solution interphase

• Charge transfer across an interphase

• Formation of an equilibrium electrode potential

• Nucleation and growth of thin films

• Kinetics and mechanisms of electrodeposition

• Electroless deposition

• In situ characterization of deposition processes

• Structure and properties of deposits

• Multilayered and composite thin films

• Interdiffusion in thin film

• Applications in the semiconductor industry and the field of
  medicine

This new edition updates the prior edition to address the new
developments in the science and its applications, with new chapters
on innovative applications of electrochemical deposition in
semiconductor technology, magnetism and microelectronics, and
medical instrumentation. Added coverage includes such topics as
binding energy, nanoclusters, atomic force, and scanning tunneling
microscopy.Example problems at the end of chapters and other
features clarify and improve understanding of the material.

Written by an author team with extensive experience in both
industry and academe, this reference and text provides a
well-rounded introduction to the field for students, as well as a
means for professional chemists, engineers, and technicians to
expand and sharpen their skills in using the technology.
