## Abstract

In the electrochemical deposition of thin films the measurement of the current-time curve does not allow for a direct determination of the nucleus growth law, electrode surface coverage and mean film thickness. In this work we present a theoretical approach suitable to gain insight into these quantities from the knowledge of nucleation density, solution parameters and current-time behavior. The model applies to both isotropic and anisotropic growth rates of nuclei and a study on the effect of nucleus shape and aspect ratio on the kinetics is presented. Experimental results from literature are also discussed in the framework of the present approach.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
