Evoluation Of Dendritic Pattern In Electrodeposition

Dendritic Pattern grown in electrode position under suitable working conditions gives rise to fractal pattern with complexity of shape, structure and texture. Such dendritic patterns exhibit interesting characteristics and in most of the cases fractals obey scale invariance over a wide range of length scale. The study of the dendritic patterns grown in a cell with circular geometry, with a view to explore the growth rate of different electrode position patterns. It is found that the dendritic patterns with few branches, when closely examined exhibit microstructures that are of interest from the point of material science and newer materials with non conventional characteristics. The rate of growth is studied from the point of linear growth, volume gained and mass added as a function of time.
