Electrochemical AFM (EC-AFM): Copper Deposition/Dissolution on Gold

The applications team at Park Systems is proud to present an introduction to electrochemical atomic force microscopy (EC-AFM), a characterization technique derived from Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) that can be used for monitoring the electrodeposition process during electrochemical reactions. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique is typically employed to investigate the electrochemical reaction mechanisms using an electrochemistry cell and a choice of potentiostat or galvanostat.

This webinar explains the basics of EC-AFM and investigation of localized electrochemical deposition and dissolution of copper using the Park NX12 AFM System.
