Abstract
The surface of voids formed during the electrolytic growth of silver microcrystals has been studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). SEM images reveal the dendrite morphology of the surface of voids. This is additional evidence for the validity of a model proposed previously, according to which an island growing during electrocrystallization passes via a high-temperature state.
