Abstract:Nanocrystalline thick copper films with the thickness of ∼250 μm were electrochemically synthesized from an acidic aqueous solution containing polyethylene glycol (PEG) with the average molecular weight of 3,000 to investigate the preferential crystal orientation and mechanical properties such as microhardness and tensile strength. By addition of PEG to the electrolytic bath, the cathode potential was shifted to a less noble direction during the electrodeposition and the average crystallite size of electrodepo… Show more
