Abstract

The problem of the radius of depleted-by-diffusion zones around the growing individual clusters during the electrocrystallization in the mode of diffusion kinetics is solved. It is shown that a decrease in the probability of nucleation in every prescribed instant of time depends on the diffusion coefficient, overpotential, and individual characteristics of deposited metal: a specific surface energy and molar volume.
