Pulsed light assisted electrodeposition

A novel method called pulsed light assisted electrodeposition (PLAE), involving the alternate depositions of two elements to form a compound semiconductor, one by electrochemical and the other by photoelectrochemical deposition, should be referred to in this context. Takahashi et al. [108] suggested that high-quality...
