Randomly oriented twin domains in electrodeposited silver dendrites

Silver dendrites were prepared by electrochemical deposition. The structures of Ag dendrites, the type of twins and their distribution were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Z-contrast high angle annular dark field transmission electron microscopy (HAADF), and crystallografically sensitive orientation imaging microscopy (OIM). The results revealed that silver dendrites are characterized by the presence of randomly distributed 180° rotational twin domains. The broad surface of dendrites was of the {111} type. Growth directions of the main dendrite stem and all branches were of <112> type. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br. 172054]
