Abstract

Morphology of electrodeposited silver dendrites was investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM). On the basis of morphological analysis, the structures and mechanism of growth were proposed. Silver dendrite is twin crystal with {111} twinning plane and direction of growth <112>. Mechanism of growth represents combinations of three steps: a) growth by propagation of twin planes, b) slip of twin planes and c) layer growth on the final (111) faces.
