Fundamentals of Electrochemical Deposition

MILAN PAUNOVIC, PhD, was, until recently, a research staff member in the Electrodeposition Technology Department at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center. He began work on electrochemical metal deposition in 1961 at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, and subsequently worked on metal deposition at Reynolds Metals, Kollmorgen, and Intel. He is a coauthor of the first edition of Fundamentals of Electrochemical Deposition and Modern Electroplating (both by Wiley), has edited four symposia proceedings volumes of The Electrochemical Society, published forty-one papers, and holds seven patents. MORDECHAY SCHLESINGER, PhD, is a professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Windsor, Ontario, Canada. He is a former associate editor of both the Journal of The Electrochemical Society and Electrochemical and Solid State Letters. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society and The Electrochemical Society. He has also been named a General Motors Academic Research Fellow. He is a coauthor of the first edition of Fundamentals of Electrochemical Deposition and of Modern Electroplating. He has published over 120 research papers and holds four patents.
