Stability analysis of branched silver electrodeposits: solid phase growth under a marginally stable regime.
The mass-transport controlled growth of silver deposits at the early stage of multiple bump formation, and when a silver single needle growth regime is attained, are investigated. Linear stability analysis as proposed by Barkey, Muller, and Tobias [J. Electrochem. Soc. 136, 2199 (1989)] is applied to kinetic mesoscale data. A reasonable correlation between the current density and the average amplitude of unstable perturbation is established.
