title: Morphological evolution in the electrodeposition of the Pb-Sn binary system.
abstract: Morphological evolution in the electrodeposition of Pb-Sn binary system is studied. As the second component increases, the morphology of the codeposit changes from dendrite to ramification, to dense branch, and finally to fractal structure, respectively. The evolution arises from the influence of crystallographic texture, which leads to a splitting of dendritic tips and the formation of ramified morphology. This work provides direct evidence to explore the crystallographic influence on the morphological evolution in electrodeposition.
