Abstract

The statistics of the distances among the nearest-neighbor nuclei developed at the initial stage of the electrolysis was analyzed using the example of the metal (Cu, Ag, Cd) electrocrystallization on the isotropic glassy carbon. It was confirmed that the most frequently met intemuclei distances tn that follow the progression equation tn = t1 · qn-1 with q≈1.4 form “structural spots” where they are located following each other in a strict sequence ti, t2 …. , tn,. It is found that the form of the “structural spots” is variable and the nuclei's density toward the border of the spot either is decreased or increased. The conditions of electrolysis under which the phenomenon of the nuclei statistically arranged order is not seen are also found.
