Doctoral Dissertations

"This dissertation investigates the electrodeposition of metal oxide films and biomaterial deposits on polycrystalline and single crystal substrates. Paper I describes the mechanisms and the characterization of an electrodeposited polycrystalline insulator, ceria (CeO₂), on Hastelloy substrates produced by the electrochemical oxidation of Ce(III) acetate complexes. In Paper II, epitaxial films of magnetite (Fe₃O₄) and ferrihydrite (Fe₁₀O₁₄(OH)₂) are deposited on gold single crystals. Paper III reports the electrodeposition of epitaxial Fe₃O₄ and zinc ferrite (ZnFe₂O₄) periodic nanostructures known as superlattices by pulsing between two potentials. Papers IV and V describe chiral electrodeposition. In Paper IV, epitaxial, chiral orientations of cupric oxide …
