Abstract
Small displacements from equilibrium conditions were generated in systems of variously oriented copper single crystals exposed to acidic copper sulfate solutions by permitting a slow leak of air into the system and/or by application of an external emf. The effects of dissolution conditions on the orientation and shapes of structures formed on the surface was determined. An anomalous effect of a simultaneous corrosion reaction on electrolytic current‐potential characteristics also was observed. Explanations for the phenomena in terms of kinetic processes occurring on the surface are offered.Keywords
