Electrochemical Preparations II (Non-conventional)

Abstract

Besides the “conventional” depositions attained by the classical approach, and in addition to epitaxial development issues, products with unusual structures and functionalities mostly related to low-dimensionality phenomena are pursued by electrochemical preparation techniques, which along with purely chemical procedures taking place in low-temperature solutions, bring the advantageous features of soft growth methodology in materials science and processing. The character of non-conventional preparations and structures that shall be demonstrated in this chapter is intimately connected to a presumed thorough control over growth, usually in the atomic level, whereby matter of special nature is produced.
