Abstract
A rotating dynamic capacitor is used to measure the contact potential difference between a gold reference electrode and λ gold film during the nucleation of a silver overlayer. An interpretation of the resulting graphs is given and the curves are fitted to an exponential relationship between the mean overlayer thickness and the percentage area covered. These results are compared with results for a gold overlayer on silver film.Keywords
