Surface-element analysis of spatiotemporal stripe patterns formed by Ag and Sb coelectrodeposition.
Various spatiotemporal patterns of light and dark stripes are formed in the Ag and Sb coelectrodeposition system. In this research, we report the results of the element analysis of three spatiotemporal stripe patterns using an electron probe (x-ray) microanalyzer. The results indicate that all the patterns have an O distribution reflecting the color configuration of the patterns, in addition to Ag and Sb distributions, which have been advocated as forming the patterns. It is suggested that O, as well as Ag and Sb, contributes to the formation of the patterns.
