Polynuclear multilayer growth

Figure 7.7 also shows the theoretical i-t transients for the formation of successive layers under conditions of progressive nucleation. The theoretical current-time transient for three-dimensional nucleation is shown in Figure 7.8. The difference between 2D and 3D nucleation (Fig. 7.7 and 7.8) is in the absence of damped oscillations in the latter case. A comparison between the theoretical and experimental transients for the 2D polynuclear multilayer growth is shown in Figure 7.9.

Figure 5.25 Experimental and theoretical current transients for polynuclear multilayer growth [5.45]. Theoretical solid line [5.40] dashed line [5.39] circles, Monte Carlo simulation [5.43] dotted line first monolayer according to eq. (5.15) with/ from the initial part of the transients. The shadowed area represents the range of variation of the experimental i-t curves obtained at different overpotentials on quasi-perfect Ag (100) faces in the standard system Ag (100)/AgNO3 [5.45, 5.46[. All transients are normalized to the i,max and fi,max of the first layer formation.
